Romelu Lukaku is the No 1 striker in the world, according to ex-Brazil star Kaka... as he insists Chelsea striker reminds him of former Inter Milan forward Adriano 'at his best'

Romelu Lukaku is the No 1 striker in the world and is similar in style to former Inter Milan striker Adriano, according to ex-Brazil playmaker Kaka.

The Belgium striker scored 24 goals for Inter last season to lead them to their first Serie A title in 11 years, finishing 12 points above city rivals and Kaka's former side AC Milan.

The 28-year-old then netted four goals at Euro 2020 as his country reached the quarter-final, before earning a £98million move to Chelsea in August.
