He’s only going to get better as he enters the prime stages of his career. Playing for the Belgium national team has allowed him to be coached by Thierry Henry, a contender for the best Premier League striker ever. The Belgian feels he’s learnt a lot from the Frenchman.
His versatile style of play is what gives him a high ranking among the best strikers in the Premier League, and long may it continue.
