Top 5 European goal-scorers in 2018 World Cup qualifiers

Preliminary Draw of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia

#3 Romelu Lukaku

Belgium v Republic of Ireland - Group E: UEFA Euro 2016
Lukaku key for Belgium

Manchester United striker and Belgian talisman Romelu Lukaku has inspired his country with 10 goals in 8 games, nearly cementing Belgium's participation in Russia's World Cup next year. Lukaku and Belgium have been unstoppable, coasting through their qualification campaign undefeated, signalling their intent as a contender for the World Cup crown.

24-year-old Lukaku has been in sizzling hot form for United scoring in every game thus far. If he can continue and carry this early season form to next year's tournament, Belgium with Lukaku will be very hard to stop.

With Lukaku, Belgium boast a strong squad of capable international players who can win matches at the highest level, although the player might not feature in the upcoming qualifier due to a niggling ankle injury.
