Everton fans are still expecting more new faces to arrive at the club this month.
During an exclusive interview with the club’s official website, Everton forward Ademola Lookman explained how he still feels as though he is dreaming, following his big money move to from Charlton Athletic to Goodison Park earlier this month.
The 19-year-old scored on his Toffees debut, during their 4-0 win over Manchester City, and he already has the Everton fans excited with his energetic displays, despite having only made two substitute appearances for the Blues.
Lookman spoke to EvertonFC.com about his excitement at the prospect of competing on a regular basis at the highest level, despite the surreal feeling he still has concerning his switch to the Premier League from League One:

“I still feel like I’m dreaming. It’s amazing to think only three years ago I was playing on uneven pitches in parks. Everton is a huge club. I watched lots of games growing up and the atmosphere at Goodison was something that always caught my eye. I know about the great history Everton has – and, of course, the big rivalry that exists with Liverpool. I can’t wait to get started here. I want to establish myself in the team, but I also want achieve things and help the Club win trophies.”

Lookman is undoubtedly still rough around the edges, and has a long way to go until he can be considered an Everton first-team regular.
One thing that must be considered, however, is that he is arguably at the best club in the Premier League, as far as developing youngsters is concerned.
And under the guidance of Ronald Koeman, he will surely be given every opportunity to prove his true worth to the club.
