Everton striker Ademola Lookman targets senior England call

Everton striker Ademola Lookman is determined to follow his former England U20 World Cup teammates into the senior team.

Two of his U20 World Cup colleagues in South Korea, Lewis Cook and Dominic Solanke, have recently received senior call-ups from Gareth Southgate.

Lookman harbours aspirations of doing likewise and is confident he can fulfil his potential having joined the Toffees from Charlton nearly a year ago.

"I have played with them for a couple of years and to see them doing that is nice; they deserve it," Lookman added of Cook and Solanke's senior recognition. "I don't see why I can't follow in their footsteps.

"It is a big club, Everton, and I am still learning, still young. With time I think everything will come."
