We spoke to Everton’s talisman about the joy of scoring goals and learning from the likes of Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres

There can’t be many better jobs than smashing a ball past a goalkeeper and soaking up the adulation of adoring fans and teammates.
It's what Everton's Romelu Lukaku does with considerable relish, but does he ever get bored of rippling the back of the net? No. Not a chance. Never. In fact, he can't get enough of it.
“I just love scoring goals,” he says. “Even if I score a good goal in training I have a big smile on my face. I dream about scoring goals all the time.”
