It is a little difficult to compare the Lukaku brothers. Elder brother Romelu is one of the most prolific strikers in the world and has already reached a century of Premier League goals before the age of 25.

On the other hand, Jordan might not be a footballing icon but is still a very dependable right-back who is well-built, and great going forward.

Both of them joined the Anderlecht academy in 2006, before graduating to their first team. Romelu showed more promise between the two and was promoted to the first team in 2009. By the time Jordan - younger by only 9 months - made it to the first team, Romelu had received his big break: a move to Chelsea.

Romelu found first team opportunities scarce at the London club and failed to score a league goal for the Pensioners in 10 outings.

However, he tore the Premier League apart in each of his two loans spells, at West Bromwich Albion and Everton.

Everton did well to sign him permanently and were thoroughly rewarded with 68 goals in 141 league games.

Manchester United came calling last summer with a big money move for the Belgian - and he has had a fairly good start in Manchester.

On the other hand, brother Jordan is now set to finish his second season with Lazio and has established himself as a first-team regular. He has seven caps for Belgium compared to Romelu's 66. Both of them are yet to reach their peak years, and very promising futures beckon the two.
