Everton FC Unveils Pacy Nigerian Winger, Ademola Lookman [Photos]
Everton Football Club have confirmed the signing of pacy winger Ademola Lookman from Charlton Athletic on a four-and-a-half year deal.
The 19-year old player who already stars for the England Under-20 international team broke into Charlton’s first team midway through last season, and signed for about £11m from the south east London club.
‘It feels great to be an Everton player,’ said the 19-year-old. ‘Everton has a big history and I was also attracted by the manager. When you look at what he did at Southampton, and what he does with young players in terms of developing them, that was a big attraction.’
The player will wear the number 31 shirt for the Liverpool based club.
The Everton manager, Ronald Koeman, commented: ‘Ademola is a big talent and, at 19 years old, he has a big future in the game. I’m really happy that we’ve been able to bring him here to the club.’
