Ademola Lookman

The young winger has had to wait for his chance in the Premier League this season but took it fully when it came against Bournemouth last weekend.

Playing the full 90 minutes, he caused the Cherries defence problems with his pace and trickery from the right-wing and eventually set up the Toffees’ second goal of the afternoon with some intelligent play.

With Saints looking for an attacker in his mould, he was linked with a move to St Mary’s in this transfer window but it now appears as though he is firmly in the future plans of Marco Silva.

He will be a familiar face to Ralph Hasenhuttl too after spending the second half of last season on-loan at RB Leipzig under the Austrian.
