#3 Romelu Lukaku
Romelu Lukaku is a 23-year-old Belgian footballer who plays as a striker for Everton. At only 22, he has scored 100 first team goals, which is faster than Messi and Rooney.
In the Premier League itself, he scored 50 goals before turning 23 to become the 4th youngest player to achieve the feat, joining the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen. He has also impressed for the Belgian National Team scoring 19 goals already, and is on track to become the leading scorer for Belgium in a few years’ time.
He is extremely strong in the air and on the ball in the box, making him a nuisance to defend against. Besides that, he is also a clinical finisher and offers a more direct approach to goal. He has been linked to the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea, and in truth, he completely deserves it.
This season, he has already scored 7 goals and assisted 3 times. He also has 1.8 dribbles and 1.8 key passes per game, higher than the last few seasons. Lukaku also has an incredible shot accuracy of 70% this season. This, after his recent slump in form.
The 22-year-old is destined to become a great player but as of now, he needs to work a bit on his link up play and his passing.
