John Collins has accused Romelu Lukaku of showing a lack of respect towards Everton – and questioned whether he is good enough for a ‘top’ team.

Speaking on international duty this week, the Belgian striker revealed he plans to leave Goodison Park this summer and has already agreed personal terms with a rival team, understood be Chelsea.

His comments have understandably irked Everton supporters and former Toffees star Collins told talkSPORT: “It’s a little bit disrespectful.

“Sometimes players go away on international duty and think they are on a different planet and nobody hears the interviews and they have got friends and journalists in their home countries that let things out that they shouldn’t.

“For me it’s a little bit disrespectful. Everton spent a lot of money on him made him the player he is.”

Everton are set to demand £100million to part with Lukaku, who has fired 87 goals in 166 appearances in his four years at Goodison Park.

It is widely thought that he wants a move back to Chelsea, but Collins is unsure whether he will be a success at a bigger club.

Speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breafast, he added: “He’s big, he’s strong, he’s quick, but is he a top, top player? I have my doubts.

“I’m not so sure if he has got the skills to play in tight situations and when you are playing in a top team you are often playing against packed defences, teams that get ten men behind the ball. But time will tell. I could be wrong.”
