Famously nicknamed “Big Rom” by fans and the media, Romelu Lukaku is one striker who can turn out to be any defender’s worst nightmare. I mean look at the guy. Not only is he a striker with a big stature, his strength intertwined with his speed and finishing touches are enough to break the walls set up by even the best of defences in the footballing world.
Lukaku currently plays as a striker for Chelsea FC under the mentorship of the club’s German head coach Thomas Tuchel. Here’s an interesting fact about the Belgian striker: Romelu Lukaku is one of the few players who managed to net 50 Premier League goals before hitting 23. In addition to that, the 28-year old also boasts of having an all-time record of finding the back of the net 31 times for the Belgian national team.
Born on 13th May, 1993 in Antwerp, Belgium to parents Roger Lukaku and Adolphine Lukaku, ‘Big Rom’ is an extremely powerful striker and is widely regarded as one of the most deadly finishers in the world at the moment. His stint with Inter Milan saw him clinch the Serie A title for the Italian club for the first time since the 2009-10 season. Lukaku closed the 2020-21 season with 24 league goals to his name, making him the top scorer on his team, finishing as the second highest-scorer in the league behind Cristiano Ronaldo.
Anderlecht: Lukaku signed a contract with Anderlecht on 13th May, 2009 which was also when he turned 16. The contract would keep him at the club till 2012. Lukaku’s debut with the club came on 24th May, 2009 in what was a championship play-off fixture against Standard Liege which Anderlecht went on to lose 1-0.
International debut: Lukaku’s debut with Belgium’s senior national team came on 24th February, 2010. The game that he was picked for was a friendly fixture against Croatia.
