Everton boss Martinez: Lukaku set for huge 2015

Everton boss Roberto Martinez says 2015 will be a huge year for Romelu Lukaku.

Martinez predicts his club record signing is poised to flourish in the New Year and maintain a hot streak until the end of the campaign.

He said: "I think Rom is going to hit his best levels in January. Then I think he's capable of maintaining it until the end of May. I'm happy with his attitude and the way he works. He knows the responsibility he has for us and brings a lot of desire.

"He is so unpredictable with his type of play. He can be strong and powerful. He can hold the ball up well. Against Lille he was very sharp and penetrating and his link-up in the final third was really good."
