Speaking to the club’s official website, Everton winger Yannick Bolasie has described teammate Romelu Lukaku as unplayable.
The Belgian striker was in superb form for the Blues last season, scoring 25 goals in all competitions.
He has started this season in a similar vein, with six goals to his name in the Premier League, a tally that makes him the division’s second highest scorer so far.
His last goal came in the 1-1 draw with Manchester City at the Etihad, a superb solo strike that saw him power past defender Gael Clichy before smashing home past Claudio Bravo.

It was an impressive goal, to say the least, and Bolasie is keen to build up a relationship with him.
“Rom is one of the best goalscorers in the Premier League,” he told the club’s official website.
“When he is on his game he is unplayable. If I can be unplayable as well then hopefully we can strike up a good partnership.”

While the focus is firmly on Lukaku to get the goals for Everton this season, Bolasie will also be expected to chip in as well.
Manager Ronald Koeman has already demanded as much, saying he wants to see the winger reach a tally of ten.
That is a hard target for him to reach, especially considering he has only managed ten goals in 98 appearances in the league so far.
But he is confident he can reach it, believes the Blues style of play should help him out considerably.
“I heard something like that floating about!” (on his rumoured 10-goal target),” he added.
“Personally speaking, why can’t I do it? It is certainly achievable, especially considering the way we play. That will definitely help me score goals.”
