Roberto Martinez calls Romelu Lukaku "the best striker in Europe for his age"

Everton manager Roberto Martinez believes that Romelu Lukaku is the best young forward in Europe and is also a "complete modern striker".

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has claimed that Romelu Lukaku is the best young striker in Europe.

The Belgium international had an inconsistent start to the season in front of goal, but has netted 11 times in 16 games in 2015.

Martinez told BBC Sport: "I still feel Romelu Lukaku is the best striker in Europe for his age. We need to remember he is only 21. He is a very complete modern striker."

Lukaku, who will be in action on Sunday against Manchester United, signed for Everton from Chelsea for £28m last summer following an impressive loan spell on Merseyside.
