Everton sign teenage winger from Charlton

Jan 5, 2017 - 3:32 PM Everton have signed England under-20 winger Ademola Lookman from third tier side Charlton Athletic on a four-and-a-half year deal.

"He's a good, young, talented player. And we don't have that player in his age in our academy. He can reach a high level if he develops well," manager Ronald Koeman told a news conference.

"He is a player for the future. The boy needs time to adapt to how we train, how we play."

While no financial details were given by the club, media reports suggested Everton paid STG7.5 million pounds ($AU12.6 million) for the 19-year-old, with substantial add-ons if performance targets are reached.
