PFA Young Player of the Year: Did Dele Alli really deserve the award?

2) Romelu Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku has lived up to his lofty expectations this season. He has been in lethal form in front of goal this season, scoring 24 goals in 33 games for his club. That is four goals more than his nearest competitor for the Golden Boot, Harry Kane.

Although he has had a prolific season, many have criticised his performances in big games. Despite finding the net in regularity this season, he has only tallied three goals against the other clubs in the top seven – not good enough for a striker of Lukaku’s calibre.

Moreover, many deem him to be no more than a goalscorer. Despite his physical capabilities, many pundits have criticised the Belgian for his performances, claiming he is not the complete striker he has the potential to be.

Nevertheless, given his goal tally the powerful striker must be doing something right this season, and will have deserved a transfer is he decides to make the move go a bigger club in the summer.
