Everton sensation Ademola Lookman must choose Nigeria over England

Everton raised a few eyebrows when they splashed out around £11 million to sign Ademola Lookman from League One Charlton Athletic but the youngster has already made a big impression.

Lookman enjoyed a dream debut on Jan. 15, coming on as a substitute in Everton's win over Manchester City and netting the final goal in a rousing 4-0 victory for Ronald Koeman's men.

It's a whirlwind spell for the youngster, who has made the step up from the third tier of English football to find himself potentially at the centre of an international tug-of-war.

The Wandsworth-born 19-year-old, who has represented England Under-20s, is eligible to play for Nigeria by virtue of his parents.
