Ademola Lookman

Or because he’s barely played a minute since last season?

No Id say he would still have been on the bench for them at least

 

[Groucho]

Did he actually play that much for Leipzig?

Did he actually play that much for Leipzig?

He started 7 out of the 14 possible in the league. He wasn't eligible for the Europa.

 

[Timak]

In the England U21 starting line up.

fifa need to crack down on all this switching allegiances crap, he was born and brought up in London, he's English not Nigerian. just anything people do to get a game @ national level,

Oh who gives a crap!

Is this game being televised?

Is this game being televised?

Nope, but sometimes these are legally streamed

Bizarre if he's declaring for Nigeria but still happy to play for England u21s

True rat behaviour.

..more bizarre that he won a youth World Cup with England. I do wonder about his character.

He just seem to be very young for his age, immature and incapable of knowing what he wants to do

...possibly. He’s academically bright having done very well in GCSEs but i’ve always thought he looks a moody kid. Davies, DCL, Kenny, Dowell et al look very close but Lookman seems to be on the periphery. I understand he was close to Lukaku. He might need a bit of managing, but I might be entirely wrong.

Was always a good chance he’d start u21 as Demetrius Gray was called up to the full England squad. He’s undoubtedly got talent, time for him to demonstrate it.

Yeh all the young lads are like a little clique but he’s always on the periphery in training. Surprises a little since they’re also in the same England camps. He does seem super shy though in interviews.

I read the full article on the Nigerian News site and they seem pretty positive this is going to happen. Quote sources close to the player. If true, I am really starting to question his character too Eggs. I've sort of given him the benefit of the doubt until now, mainly because he hasn't really come out and said anything himself or formally requested a transfer. For me, he appears to be having some sort of mental battle with himself and anybody in authority. May be completely wrong. I hope so as I think he has great potential both for us and for England.

He's playing for the U21s this afternoon so the whole story could be false.
