Italian Roma's Ukrainian newcomer Artem Dovbik has reacted to being called the "new Lukaku" in the media.
"Romelu is one of the greatest center forwards in Europe. But I am not the new Lukaku, I am Artem Dovbik. And I want to do my best and for people to appreciate me for what I can do.
I am proud to be the first Ukrainian at Roma. I want to show what I am worth. Before me in Italy there were Shevchenko, Malinovskyi and Kovalenko. Now it`s my turn.
Where did the nickname "Machine" come from? I like to work in the gym, and my teammates, often seeing me, decided to call me that," AreaNapoli quoted Dovbik as saying by Gazzetta dello Sport.
