The Belgium international scored 87 goals in 166 games for the Merseyside outfit across two separate spells before leaving to join Manchester United in 2017.
Things didn’t really work out well for the 26-year-old at Old Trafford, and he is now plying his trade for Inter Milan in Italy.
Recalling his spell with Everton on Instagram, the centre-forward said: “Looking back I owe that club so much they gave me a chance and believe at 20 years old and I truly enjoyed my time there. The fans are amazing and it was a pleasure to play for such great club.”
