Romelu Lukaku: productively than Messi and Rooney

To buy the rights to Romelu Lukaku, “Everton” had to fork out on record for a 35 million euro. On Wednesday striker, who scored last season for “butterscotch” 15 goals in 31 Premier League outings, signed with mersisaydtsami contract for five years .

Before the most expensive purchase of the club was Marouane Fellaini, taken in 2008 for 19 million euros. That transfer was received by the British public largely as an occasion to recall the era of high-profile purchases in the history of “Everton”. If Romelu Lukaku investments can return a hundredfold, which proves statistics striker.

Only Robin van Persie and Luis Suarez spared player against Belgium by number of goals in the last two drawings of the Premier League. During rent “West Bromwich” Romelu Lukaku scored 17 goals, and in the last championship held 15 in the “Everton”. In his 21 ex-striker “Anderlecht” already has 65 goals in the asset in the top division, which is more than Lionel Messi, who scored in this age level “only” 57 goals. Michael Owen (55) and Wayne Rooney (44) lag even more.
