Lukaku is only 19, but Villas-Boas already believes that he is ready for the Premier League and he could even make his debut against West Brom. “He has tremendous physical qualities to play in the Premier League, that’s for sure,” said Villas-Boas. “He is tremendously powerful, very strong in the challenges, although, despite his size, he has an explosiveness and an ability to react quickly which looks pretty amazing. But he faces the biggest competition of his life with the forwards that we have.”
