Everton forward Ademola Lookman has been linked with a move away from Goodison Park all summer.
Marco Silva has told the Guardian that Ademola Lookman will not be leaving Everton any time soon.
Everton forward Lookman has been linked with a move away from Goodison Park for much of the summer so far.
The Toffees have had to fend off big interest from RB Leipzig, with Everton fans desperate not to lose one of their best prospects.
And Silva has finally seemingly confirmed that the £11m man (BBC Sport) will be sticking around on Merseyside this season.
He said: “He is our player and he stays.”
Lookman enjoyed a very productive spell at Leipzig on loan last season, which has led to the Bundesliga club trying to buy him.
The prospect is understandably keen to play more first-team football, so Silva may have to offer him game time to ensure he keeps the winger satisfied.
Lookman was often overlooked by Sam Allardyce, but will be hoping his fortunes change at Everton under Silva.
Lookman is in competition with Richarlison and Theo Walcott for a place in Silva’s starting line-up.
