Some funny comments here; comparing him to Lukaku who has completely different anatomy, muscle structure, height, weight etc.
He is such a player that he is more than 1 player; he can raise the performances of other players who play near him. Especially whoever plays left side of him, check Babel; he flourished when they played together and he is nowhere near his performance since Cenk left Besiktas- became a ghost. Baines assist is not a coincidence today and Siggy has to come there more often too, then you will see what Cenk will do for the team.
He doesn't lack pace lol, he barely gets any ball onto his runway, if he gets such through balls and defender bash him then ok, but all Sam wants hoofs and he has to chase them like a rabbit. Niasse understood the trick of EPL, if the Center Forward just runs every ball near penalty area without any effective play he gets the kudos. That doesn't need any skill set except endurance.
He is a striker with great teamplay ability, has technique much better than 90% of the team, have clean shooting ability with both feet and somehow many of you still whine about it. Guys, He is a
genuine Striker, not an eyecandy defender chaser like Niasse.
