Ron Hails Lethal Lukaku

Ronald Koeman has hailed Romelu Lukaku as one of the most lethal finishers he has ever come across.

The Everton boss was speaking ahead of the visit of Swansea City on Saturday and believes the Belgium striker’s ability within the box is up there with the most clinical finishers around.

Lukaku is currently third in the Premier League’s goalscoring chart with seven goals, behind Chelsea frontman Diego Costa and Manchester City talisman Sergio Agüero, but boasts a superior shots on target ratio – 74% compared to Costa’s 68% and Agüero’s 58%.

Lukaku netted 28 goals for Club and country last season and already has 12 in just 14 appearances to his name so far this campaign after his recent brace for Belgium against Estonia.
