Everton striker Ademola Lookman: League One was good for me

Everton striker Ademola Lookman says his time in League One "toughened" him up.

Lookman signed for Everton from Charlton Athletic this month.

He told Everton magazine: "Playing in League One taught me that football is sometimes not nice! You have some really no-nonsense defenders in that league. But it has made me tougher as a person and as a player as well. If you can block that out and concentrate on your game then you will be ok.

"There are a lot of things that happen during games but you have to be able to deal with them. I definitely feel stronger as a player."
