Belgium coach Roberto Martinez has sung the praises of Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku.

Martinez is delighted with his Lukaku World Cup form.

He said: "Rom is a player we know well because as a young man we saw his outstanding talent. His outstanding talent is the goalscoring ability that he has. When you see him at the age of 19 coming into the Premier League and making the impact he had with West Brom and seeing that slowly he was adapting to playing 90 minutes.

“He comes to Everton and you can see that mindset of a winner. Elite brain of wanting to become the best in his position. You see an evolution on the footballer.

“I think his decision of assisting that ball (against Japan) to someone who is in a better position speaks volumes of his maturity and his understanding of why we are here – to be a team, to help each other, to try to win games."
