10 best forwards in world football at the moment

#4. Romelu Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku has been flying this year

Before you start pelting the screen you are reading - let me make it clear that Lukaku is better than Ronaldo at the moment, solely on the basis of current form

The big Belgian maybe in the news at the moment for a rather unfortunate chant that the Old Trafford faithful may have come up with, but he ought to be celebrated for everything that he's doing on the pitch.

Despite having scored bucket-loads for Everton over the past couple of seasons (just how much the Toffees were reliant on him has become oh, so, evident now) he was never recognised as a top-class striker but his move to Manchester United provided him with the perfect opportunity to do so; and he has seized it with both hands. He has scored 7 goals in 7 Premier League games this season, with a tally of 11 in 10 in all competitions.

Apart from the obvious physical attributes of pace and power that he has brought to United, it's his incredible movement on and off the ball that has made United look like genuine contenders on both the domestic and the continental stage.

For Belgium, he has been on fire and has helped them seal World Cup qualification by smashing in 10 goals in the past 7 appearances for the Belgian Red Devils.
