​Everton star Sigurdsson: Lookman has bright future

Everton star Gylfi Sigurdsson believes that youngster Ademola Lookman has a bright future in the game.

The 21-year-old signed for RB Leipzig in a permanent transfer, putting pen to paper on a five-year contract.

He did not make it at Everton, but his former teammate Sigurdsson has no doubts about the winger's talent and ability.

"He is a very good player. Hopefully got a very bright future ahead of him," Sigurdsson told Sky Sports News.

"He is very talented. He probably felt he was that stage where he wanted to play.

"Of course it is difficult - the club probably wanted to keep him because of his ability but it is a good deal for the club and everyone here wishes him the best."
