Everton striker Lukaku: People forget how young I am

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku admits the expectations of fans can get him down.

Lukaku says people forget how young he actually is.

"Sometimes I think people forget I'm still 21," said Lukaku. "They think I'm 25 or 26 because I've been around for a few seasons now.

"Sometimes, I look at Ross [Barkley] and think 'We're both young, but people don't realise that'. I'm still 21, sometimes mistakes happen - things happen because you don't have the right experience. If I keep improving like this, then when I'm 25 or 26, that's when there will be no excuses."
