Martinez: Lukaku is a special player
Everton manager Roberto Martinez has hailed record signing Romelu Lukaku after the big Belgian scored his 50th goal in 100 appearances against Crystal Palace lastnight.
Martinez feels that Lukaku’s consistency over the last 12 months has been key and says that the number of goals that he has scored in 2015 is very impressive.
Martinez said: “Rom has been very consistent in the last 12 months, it is 26 or 27 goals in the calendar year – quite impressive,”
“When you look at the overall development in the last 12 months, it makes you realise what a special footballer we have.
“It is not just talking about potential. We are talking about a goalscorer who can control the moment and see the importance of his role in the team.”
How good can Lukaku become?
