National team of Belgium has great hope in their youth. Surely Football Manager fans have in their teams such players as Defour, Vanden Borre, Kompany, Fellaini or Witsel. In FM 2010 we need to add to this group a rising star of Belgian football, Romelu Lukaku. Similarly to many other young players Lukaku is very tall - 192 centimetres! What's happening to today's yout, do they add something to their food? I know only one teenager taller than Romelu and it is a Cuban volleyball player Wilfredo Leon.
Romelu for almost 10 years has been climbing the Belgian clubs football ladder and in 2006 he reached Anderlecht. There he quickly got into the first squad and became the best league scorer - in 15 matches scored 9 goals. Knowing his age that's quite impressive. Enquires started coming from such clubs as AC Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea or Arsenal. Romelu has also played four games in the U-21 team, scoring one goal. He's very close to his debut in the adult squad.
It's time to look closely at his attributes. Due to his height he's very good when fighting for the high balls. He also has a great acceleration. He dribbles well, finishes actions and is brave. Although, he could work on his agility. Looking at his current stats and his potential we can surely prognose that in a few years the best European clubs will fight over him. The Belgian also shouldn't cause too much trouble when signing for average teams.
