Lukaku is a brilliant footballer and playing with the right support could be exactly what he’s missing to push on and claim the title of a world class footballer.

At 23 he’s still so young in this game and can offer so much in that forward role, and best of all Arsenal have a really good case to offer the Belgian international.

The towering centre forward has been stuck at mid-table Everton for three years now under a boss that has failed to get the very best out of him despite his 37 Premier League appearances.

Physical in both the air and on the floor, Lukaku has the ability to beat defenders in any position, and you can have bags of confidence on him finding the net when clean on goal.

So could he switch blue for red? Well, Arsenal have a really good chance here because they can offer the striker Champions League football, something he is dreaming of.

As well as a lucrative pay packet, the chance to push on for a top club like the Gunners could also be dependant on how new manager Ronald Koeman see’s him fitting into his plans.
