Everton News: Antony Evans delighted with new deal; Lookman admits RB Leipzig battle

Antony Evans has penned terms with Everton to 2020.

Midfielder Evans joined the Blues Academy at the age of nine, breaking into the Under-23s team in 2015/16, when he scored three times in 17 Premier League 2 appearances.

Everton is a great club and I am delighted to sign for another couple of years," Evans told evertontv.

“I wanted to get a foothold in the team [this season], kick on and get a contract. We have a new [first-team] manager and new ways, so it is an exciting time at the Club.

“Ultimately, I want to try to get in the first team, whether that is through going on loan again or staying with the Under-23s and continuing to perform consistently."

Meanwhile, Ademola Lookman admits his first month with loan club RB Leipzig hasn't gone to plan.

"I like it here it's good football," Lookman said.

"Obviously I got my first start today (against Eintrach Frankfurt) and it wasn't the perfect start that I wanted but I just need to keep working hard."
