Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that Romelu Lukaku is a "real joy to work with" after the striker scored his 17th league goal of the season against Aston Villa.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has described Romelu Lukaku as a "real joy to work with" following his goalscoring performance against Aston Villa on Tuesday night.

The Belgian set a new club record by scoring his 17th Premier League goal, the most that any Everton player has netted in a single season, in the Toffees' 3-1 win at Villa Park.

Lukaku is in fine form but there are reports that the forward, who has been linked to Manchester United, will force a move away from Goodison Park in the summer.

"Romelu Lukaku is still a very young man but he takes information and responsibility and he's a real joy to work with," BBC Sport quotes Martinez as saying. "It's important he keeps that mentality because at 22 he has the world at his feet."

Lukaku has scored six goals in five appearances against Villa.
