The Everton striker is currently without a goal in 11 Premier League games.
Speaking to BBC One’s Match of the Day, Ruud Gullit says he thinks it is just a matter of time before Romelu Lukaku starts scoring again.
The Everton striker is currently without a goal in 11 Premier League games, which is becoming a concerning situation for the Toffees.
His struggles continued on Saturday afternoon as he failed to find the back of the net in the 1-0 win over Stoke City, with him missing one glorious chance in particular.
It was clear to see in that game that the Belgian’s confidence was low, but Gullit says he thinks it is just a matter of time before he starts scoring again.
“He’s working hard but he looks a little bit off sync. It can happen. I think it’s just a matter of time for him,” he told Match of the Day.
With Lukaku continuing to struggle it would not be surprising to see Everton push hard for another striker before the end of the transfer window.
The Belgian is very much first choice at Goodison Park and the current squad is lacking in sufficient back up to challenge him for his place.
With him continuing to struggle that leaves them in a risky position and a new striker is surely at the top of their wish list in the coming days.
