Everton have signed the youngster from Charlton Athletic.

Everton completed their first signing of the January transfer window this week when they brought in Ademola Lookman from Charlton Athletic for a reported £11million (the BBC).

The Toffees fans are hopeful of a number of new additions this month and while some may be disappointed at the lack of ready-made stars thus far there is no doubting Lookman’s innate ability.

The 19-year-old has impressed with the League One side and he will be hoping to settle quickly at Everton before pushing hard for a regular starting spot.

Lookman is predominantly a left winger who can also operate as a secondary striker or a centre forward if required, and in time he should add plenty of goal-threat to the Everton squad.

The teenager has featured 49 times for Charlton, scoring 12 goals and providing three assists in the process.
