Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has told Thierry Henry that he aims to break the Frenchman’s record of 175 Premier League goals.
Belgium international Lukaku knows Henry well from his time working with the Arsenal legend when he was coaching alongside Roberto Martinez for the World Cup semi-finalists, though he has since departed to take up a head coach post role at Monaco.
Lukaku, though, is desperate to beat his former mentor’s mark, the most scored by any non-English player in the league, having previously wound ex-Chelsea forward Didier Drogba up about reaching 100 Premier League goals in 30 fewer matches than the Blues legend.
