Romelu Lukaku

The Belgian striker is easily one of the best in the Premier League and pairing him with City’s attacking talents would surely be a sight to be seen. Despite dropping off at the tail end of last year, Lukaku has started this season strong with five goals including a hat trick against Sunderland. It’s tough to see why Chelsea let the young striker go, but Everton are certainly glad they did. Lukaku also adds the element of height up top that City often lack in most starting line-ups.
