Arsenal legend Ian Wright said on The Monday Night Club show on BBC Radio 5 live on Monday evening (7:47pm, January 21, 2019) that Everton winger Ademola Lookman should be playing regularly now.

The former Arsenal and West Ham striker believes that Lookman should get more playing time for Everton than he has been getting so far this season.

Wright said on The Monday Night Club show on BBC Radio 5 live on Monday evening (7:47pm, January 21, 2019): “I think that someone like Ademola Lookman should be playing regularly now.

“I have said that on a few occasions now. He should be playing more frequently than he has been playing.”

More playing time

Lookman is a very good and promising young winger, and Everton manager Marco Silva should make more use of the 21-year-old.

The England Under-21 international winger has made three only starts and just 10 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Everton so far this season, providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

Everton are in indifferent form at the moment, and Lookman could be the player who sparks the Toffees into life.

Silva needs to start Lookman regularly and have faith in him even if he does not always perform to the best of his ability.

After all, the 21-year-old winger can only get better and develop if he plays regular first-team football.
