Belgian international Romelu Lukaku has quickly proved his worth in the Premier League after being offloaded by Chelsea a few years ago. The 23-year-old striker is well known for his physical ability and strength and is a handful to play against for most Premiership defenders.

The Belgian has scored 18 goals and made four assists for Everton this season and shows no signs of slowing down. He is the joint highest goal scorer in the Premier League with 17 goals for the Toffees in the 2016/17 campaign.

Lukaku could be a handy striker for Jose Mourinho as ‘The Special One’ has worked with him in the past at Chelsea. Mourinho could also use the youngster’s physicality up front in place of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
