Whilst Bolasie formed up an initial partnership with Lukaku before getting injured, I believe he had 6 assists for him, with some fantastic balls being put into the box.

According to the daily express both Everton and Chelsea are interested. It also says we want to keep him.

If he is going, how much do you want for him and who should we replace him with?

50-60 million fair call. Who do you replace him with?

It took us three seasons to find a striker worthy of the name and it will probably take just as long to find another, by which time it'll be easier because we'll be back in the Championship.

If Benteke leaves we are well and truly screwed. Finding another striker who can guarantee us 15+ goals a season would be near on impossible. Wickham could do it if we could get a full season out of him but we all know that's not very likely.

My guess is that Benteke wouldn't be a replacement for Costa, rather an option off the bench or for cup games.

Given we don't need to sell him it seems unlikely that we would unless we get silly money, he makes it clear he wants out and we have a replacement lined up. I can't think of any suitable replacements who we could realistically get so I can't see him going.
