By Mitch Phillips LONDON (Reuters) - Bob Latchford, one of the most popular players ever to don the blue shirt of Everton, says the arrival of Samuel Eto'o at the club will help turn Romelu Lukaku into a worthy centre forward successor. Particularly deadly in the air, Latchford scored 138 goals in 289 appearances for the Toffees from 1974 to 1981, also winning 12 England caps, and takes a keen interest in his former club. He feels Eto'o's experience will accelerate the progress of Lukaku, who became the club's record signing when he joined for 28 million pounds from Chelsea this year after a successful season on loan. "And if you get enough quality balls into the box to him in dangerous areas, then he knows how to score goals." Both strikers were on target in Sunday's 3-1 win at Burnley, Eto'o getting two, as Everton continue to edge up the table after a sticky start to the season.
