I'm happy - but want to play in CL.
ROMELU LUKAKU insists he is "happy" at Everton but has reiterated his desire to play Champions League football.
The Blues record signing joined the club on a permanent deal last summer from Chelsea for PS28m and bagged 20 goals in all competitions this season.
Lukaku was quoted in Belgian magazine SportVoetbal as saying he was itching to win trophies and experience "big games".
Now the Everton forward is reported to have spoken of his desire for Champions League football but, at the same time, insisting he remains happy at Goodison Park.
Respected Belgian journalist Kristof Terreur quotes Lukaku as saying: "If a player wants to leave, he will leave, but time is on my side.
"I'm 22 and there's nothing negative about Everton. I'm happy."
Terreur also quotes Lukaku as saying: "I want to compete with the best. I would love to play in the Champions League."
