The Toffees Find Romelu Lukaku Esque Player
Everton has got Romelu Lukaku as one of the most prolific and successful strikers seen in the recent past. Lukaku, who plays for Belgium national football team has a total of 87 goals to his name and has provided assistance in nearly 166 matches at Goodison Park. Just before his mega-money shift to Manchester United in the year 2017, the Belgian scored a total of 25 goals for Everton in the previous season and ended the second one with his name listed for the Golden Boots competition.
But unfortunately, the Toffees could not replace Lukaku because of poor decisions taken by the board, despite getting a massive amount of £75 million. He had shown some performances for the Toffees that could be compared with any of the players then. Cenk Tosun, Sandro Ramirez, Oumar Niasse, Yannick Bolasie-all proved to be unskilled against Lukaku. Though Dominic Calvert-Lewin could offer some respite as an emergency, it could not be hidden that they lacked behind in competitions.
