Mino Raiola Claims Romelu Lukaku is Already Better Than Diego Costa
Romelu Lukaku’s new agent, Mino Raiola, has made a bold statement about the Everton striker, claiming that Lukaku is already a better player than Diego Costa and will become one of the best strikers in Europe.
Despite Lukaku’s slightly underwhelming 2014/2015 season with Everton (8 goals in 29 league appearances), Raiola is adamant about the striker’s immense potential. Costa, on the other hand, has been in fine form, scoring 18 goals in 22 games for Chelsea.
Raiola’s Remarks:
-
Lukaku’s physicality, technical ability, and character make him stand out. Raiola referred to Lukaku as “the Paul Pogba of strikers,” highlighting his all-round qualities.
-
Raiola believes that Lukaku’s qualities are often overlooked and claims that if they had met earlier, Lukaku “might still be at Chelsea”.
-
The agent also emphasized that Lukaku has “already done great things” despite not having exploited his full potential, which makes his future in football even more exciting.
What’s Next?
-
Raiola suggests that Lukaku should join a Champions League club, hinting at the striker’s ambition to elevate his career to the highest level.
-
Given Lukaku’s young age (21), Raiola’s comments indicate the enormous expectations placed on him for the future.
