Lewandowski has a huge following and when Dortmund beat Werder Bremen in 2012, he was immediately booked onto a sports programme in Germany.Unfortunately, he got stuck in a traffic jam due to a collapsed bridge – and despite the German channel sending a helicopter to pick him up, he was unable to make it.6. He was once compared to a tree when scouted as a youngster
Franciszek Smuda, who is now the coach of Polish side Gornik Leczna, once watched Lewandowski in action after he was recommended by a scout.After 15 minutes of action, he was not impressed with the forward’s performance, saying to his scout: “You owe me petrol money. If I wanted to see trees I would have gone to the forest instead.
75.He was given the nickname ‘The Body’ by a team-mate
Lewandowki’s former team-mate Nuri Sahin once gave him the nickname ‘The Body’ for his muscular frame.

Don't get the fantasy about Martial.He has talent but he occupies LW for which we already have Hazard and Hudson-Odoi.His main strengths are dribbling and cutting in 1v1 which would be nullified at RW.Not to mention that it's plain stupid to spend even 1 penny on him as he has 1 year left on his contract if he doesnt trigger the extension.Would rather go for Zaha.
