Ademola Lookman has made three Everton appearances to date.

Ronald Koeman has confirmed that he is intending to give Ademola Lookman his first Everton start soon.

Lookman was brought to Everton during the January transfer window, and he has already made a positive impact at Goodison Park.

Although the 19-year-old was signed by the Toffees as one for the future, Koeman has been eager to give the former Charlton Athletic youngster some opportunities.

Everton's Ademola Lookman scores their fourth goal

Lookman has featured in every game Everton have played since his arrival on Merseyside, after being introduced as a substitute.

And, after his latest showing in Everton’s 1-1 draw with Stoke City, Koeman has hinted that the rapid attacker could come into his starting plans.

Lookman has already opened his scoring account for Everton, after netting on debut against Manchester City.

The starlet added pace to Everton’s attack last night at the BET 365 Stadium, but he was unable to help the Toffees pick up the three points.

Everton’s next fixture comes against Bournemouth at Goodison Park on Saturday.
