Former Celtic and Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino has pointed out in The Times a weakness in the game of Everton star Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku is one of the best strikers in the Premier League and has been in brilliant form for Everton this season.

The Belgium international has scored 24 goals and created 43 chances in 33 league matches for the Toffees so far this campaign.

During the 2015-16 season, the 23-year-old striker scored 18 goals and created 51 chances in 37 Premier League games.

Cascarino has pointed out a weakness in the former Anderlecht and Chelsea striker’s game – his hold-up play.

“Probably his weakest area, which is surprising given his immense strength,” Cascarino wrote in The Times regarding Lukaku’s hold-up play and giving it 7 out of 10. “Often loses the ball because of poor control.”

Everton are seventh in the Premier League table at the moment with 58 points from 35 matches, eight points behind fourth-placed Manchester City, who have played a fewer game.

The Toffees will return to action on Saturday evening when they take on Swansea City away from home at the Liberty Stadium in the Premier League.

Ronald Koeman’s side will then face Watford at Goodison Park and Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League.
