Only as 13-year-old, Lukak seemed to be going on a fast track to turn a giant into football, while now as 28-year-old leads Simone Inzagh's attack on Serie A.
At the age of five, Lukeku began his career by playing for the local club, Rupel Boom, before eventually discovered by the Belgian team's scouts, Lierse.
And according to his former agent, Mino Raiola, Lukak's mother was forced to bring her son's birth certificate to the match to prove his age.

Raiola had said about Eexossen in 2017: their first question was whether he's white or black.
I asked you what matters. Do you think that happens in American sports? Scottie Pippen, is he black or white? Who cares? Can I play basketball? Can he play soccer?
For Luke, this has always been a problem. I was talking to his mother. Eventually, it went to the games of young people with birth certificates.
It always ended with other parents who didn't think he was 12 or 14 years old. There were always fights when he scored three or four goals.
He was bigger and physically strong, yes. But they shouted that there was no right age.
So she received her birth certificate. He was born in Belgium, but they distribute false reports that were born in Africa. Here you go, she told you. /Periscope. com/
