Everton have surprised a lot of people with the where that they have started the season, part of that can be put down to an excellent defensive record. However, the other part is the fact they have a consistent striker for the first time in years thanks to Romelu Lukaku. The Belgium forward is obviously on loan at the club from Chelsea and is excelling in his latest tour of duty away from Stamford Bridge. The player has scored eight league goals already this season despite only starting 11 games; he has also provided three assists and picked up two Man of the Match awards. Lukaku has a healthy average rating of 7.45 and a solid shots per game rate of 3.1.
