Arsene Wenger believes Romelu Lukaku is a great signing for Everton[GETTY]
The giant Belgium international played a key role in Arsenal’s 3-0 defeat at Goodison Park last season, with Roberto Martinez deploying the striker on the right wing in a forward three.
Left-footed Lukaku ran riot as he cut inside from the flanks, and Gunners fans will be saying a prayer or two for Nacho Monreal, who is set to deputise for the injured Kieran Gibbs.
Lukaku joined the Toffees in a surprise £28million move from Jose Mourinho’s side, but Wenger believes the youngster has all the qualities to become a world-class centre-forward.
I like him very much. He has a good mixture of physical presence and technical quality
Arsene Wenger
Speaking about Lukaku’s move to Everton, Wenger said: “It was a surprise. But that’s the price to be for ambition these days.
“They are ambitious. It makes the league even more interesting.
“I like him very much. He has a good mixture of physical presence and technical quality.
“I also like his attitude. His attitude is full of energy and desire, and it plays a big part in the success of a centre forward.”
