Premier League experience
Starting only 66 of his 104 Premier League appearances, Rodriguez has still managed to find the back of the net 26 times in England’s top flight as well as laying on 13 assists.
Rodriguez has proven on occasion that he is able to come of the bench and find the back of the net and Koeman would vastly improve his substitute options with the signing of Southampton’s number nine.
A proven Premier League striker then, Rodriguez would be more than comfortable in replacing Lukaku when needed – especially if the former Chelsea striker opts to leave Goodison Park in the next two months.
