HE wanted to emulate Romelu Lukaku when he was following in the Belgian’s footsteps at Anderlecht.
But now there’s another legendary striker who is catching the eyes of former Rangers starlet Robbie Ure.

And that’s England and Bayern Munich frontman Harry Kane.
Ure, 21, is currently over in Sweden after sealing a record-breaking move to IK Sirius from Anderlecht earlier this month.
The Allsvenskan club paid a club record fee of £620,000 to prise the promising forward away from Belgium, and it’s already looking like money well spent.
The former Rangers star, who was prolific for the Ibrox B team, made his debut in the Swedish top flight yesterday and provided two assists as Sirius ran out 2-1 winners against Varnamo.
It was the dream start for the youngster as he’s already endeared himself to his new fans despite only arriving in the country three weeks ago.
And there could be plenty more to come as Ure has revealed he’s been modelling his game on the Tottenham Hotspur legend.
Speaking to Upsala Nya Tidning in Sweden, Ure said: “It’s for his instincts in the box, how he links the game in depth. He’s not just someone who scores goals but also makes players around him better.
“That’s important to me. I want to make other players better and be someone who is reliable in the box.
“His finishing is world class and I look up to him.
“I want to score goals of course but I feel I am someone who can contribute with runs. Someone who can receive the ball and that the team can trust. Also be a press player and get others into the game.
“When the ball goes out to the wings I try to take a place in the box and be dangerous.”
Ure was targeted by both Rangers and Celtic when he was a youngster.
But choosing which Old Firm side to join was an easy decision for the Ibrox season ticket holder.
He continued: “For me it’s the biggest and best rivalry in the world. Everything is brutal. League position and every game is so important to the fans and the club.
“The bragging rights in the city are what the fans live for
“I did a few other sports too but football was the serious thing. Growing up in Glasgow, football is the only thing that matters.
“I started playing when I was five, six. I played with a local team and scouts came to watch the games and I think I was eight or nine when they said I was welcome to play with Rangers.”
