Louis Saha: 'Romelu Lukaku needs to score 30 goals a season at Everton'

Former Premier League striker Louis Saha has said that he believes Romelu Lukaku needs to score 30 goals a season in order to be considered a "top player".

The Belgian international has expressed a desire to play Champions League football, but Saha believes that the 22-year-old still has a long way to go.

"He's a massive talent, he's huge and got an immense physique," the Liverpool Echo quotes Saha as saying. "What I've heard about him is he can be a really top player.

"But there's more of an issue getting him to score above 30 goals, because it is way above a number of [other] players and he should be doing it week in week out - that's the little push he needs."

Lukaku signed a permanent deal at Everton last summer after joining for £28m from Chelsea.
