'He is clearly one of the finest goalscorers of all-time.' Roberto Martinez makes big claim about Romelu Lukaku CFC
Chelsea have been linked with big-money strikers, but Pochettino has been urged to give Lukaku a chance as his No.9“I’ve always had a special connection with Rom because I always wanted to see Rom scoring goals,” Martinez said in an exclusive interview with“Every player needs to have an outstanding quality and Romelu is a goalscorer - he can finish with his left, with his right, he is powerful, he can get away from defenders.
“The problem we’ve had with Romelu, and I’ve seen it as a national team coach looking from the outside, is that he’s always been asked to do things he cannot do. “When you start asking a player to do things away from your outstanding quality, there will be moments where he doesn’t fit in “If you look at his numbers in terms of goals, for the national team he is the highest scorer in their history, highest goalscorer at Everton [in the Premier League], you look throughout the numbers in the elite group of players.
“I think it’s a fair point to make that the No.9 is the player who relies more on the other ten players, and it’s a good example with what we’ve seen from Erling Haaland this season at Man City - and he is clearly one of the finest goalscorers the game has ever had.
