Belgium coach Tedesco: An honour to work with Lukaku

Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco is excited working with Roma striker Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku scored four goals in the 5-0 Euro qualifying win against Azerbaijan.

Tedesco enthused: "He was exceptional, I am very happy to have him in my team, as a player and as a person. I'm not only happy, I'm also proud. It's always hard to say, but I think he's the best striker I've ever worked with.

"If he uses his body, he can't be stopped. He knows where the goal is with his eyes closed and is always in the right position to be served. Do I notice a special friendship with (Jeremy) Doku?

"Doku is also a top player, I had also called him in March when he was at Rennes. However, I see a lot of friendships, not only between him and Lukaku. By the way, Romelu is everyone's friend."
