Belgium's star striker Romelu Lukaku, currently with Roma, has lavished praise on Johan Bakayoko, the promising 20-year-old Belgian winger playing for PSV and the national team.
"He's understanding the importance of numbers in the game. His assist and goal tallies are increasing, bringing him into the spotlight. I've told him how incredible."
I find his play, and if he continues merging his creative flair with his scoring record, he's on track to become a top-tier player. His potential knows no bounds. I sincerely think he has what it takes to surpass me in the long run," Lukaku was quoted as saying by Alfredo Pedullo's website.
This season, Bakayoko has made a significant impact in 21 matches across all competitions, contributing three goals and 11 assists.
Having made his debut with the Belgian national team in March, he has since appeared in eight games, scoring once.
