Lukaku could play for Barcelona - Koeman

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku could wear the Barcelona jersey at some stage in his career, Ronald Koeman thinks.

Everton boss Ronald Koeman believes Romelu Lukaku has the potential to play for Barcelona.

The Belgium international has developed into one of the most lethal strikers in the Premier League in recent seasons and has frequently been linked with a move to a bigger club.

Koeman has likened Lukaku to former Barca forward Patrick Kluivert and feels he could enjoy a prestigious career like the Netherlands icon.

"Lukaku has the potential to become an amazing striker. He is still only 23 years old and is only getting better," Koeman told HLN.
