Lukaku: 'I want to become world's best striker'

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has revealed that he analyses the skills of the best forwards in the world to try to improve as a player.

Lukaku, who is currently on a season-long loan at Everton, is regarded as one of the brightest prospects in the world, but the Belgium international has admitted that he is keen to develop his game over the next two years.

The 20-year-old told the Daily Star: "I still want to become one of the best strikers in the world. I hope that you can put me in line with Edinson Cavani, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robin van Persie, Luis Suarez and Robert Lewandowski in two years time.

"I analyse them all. I look at their movements - the presence of Ibrahimovic, the left foot of Van Persie, the right foot of Cavani, the movement of Lewandowski and the dribbles of Suarez."

Lukaku has scored eight goals in 14 Premier League appearances for the Toffees.
