Romelu Lukaku Scout Report

In this scout report on Romelu Lukaku, his style of play reveals a seasoned striker who thrives in focused bursts of direct attacking power. At 31, he's no longer the bustling dynamo of his youth, but his goal-scoring prowess remains compelling, exhibited by top-tier goals per 90 and xG ratings. What's particularly striking is his exceptional efficiency in creating assists per 90, achieving a percentile rank unmatched by any peer in the Serie A this season, highlighting a surprising playmaking dimension in his skill set. While he's not the most involved player in terms of touches — ranking among the lowest — this underscores his directness around the box, maximizing impact when he does get on the ball. However, his overall passing accuracy and progressive passing are notably below average, suggesting there's room for improvement in contributing to the build-up play. Lukaku's ball recovery stats flag a need for work defensively, as he contributes little in regaining possession, an area Napoli might look to bolster given the intensity of Serie A battles. Overall, for a team seeking a clinical forward who can convert key opportunities and orchestrate play around the penalty area, Lukaku offers a compelling, albeit specialised, option.
