Lukaku: I know what defenders are going to do before they do it

 
The Belgian has been prolific in front of goal this season with 16 goals from 25 league appearances and admits his on-field successes come from hours of revision and planning

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku believes he has become a clinical goalscorer because he extensively studies opponents before coming up against them.

The Belgian, who has already secured two big money moves in his career despite being only 22, currently sits second in the Premier League goalscoring charts with 16 from 25 games.

And the former Chelsea player says he spends a great deal of time analysing his own game and that of his opponents, insisting he can predict what defenders are going to do when he comes up against them.

"There is a company in France which films all my games and makes clips of every action that I made on the pitch," Lukaku told the Telegraph.

"They make clips of every other player as well. Defenders from other teams and strikers throughout Europe.

"When I watch a match I know what teams are going to do, I know what their patterns are because I watch the games and I know and I see the movements.

"Like every time we play against Arsenal I know what this player or that player is going to do, the runs. And most of the time it is true."

Lukaku has received high praise for his exploits in front of goal this season, but the former Toffees star is letting nothing get to his head.

"I am getting better at everything," he added. "I am strong, tall, very fast. I can dribble, I can score with both feet and my head.

"I can hold up the ball so like when people say: ‘oh he’s unplayable’ I’m saying: ‘OK, I am unplayable that day but I have to try and be unplayable every single game’."
