Great to see but i can't see much more than a cameo here and there. Think the club will want him to bulk up a little.

Reckon he's thrown his name in the hat for super sub.

A little old for my taste and but there you have it

I thought the 9 year old Lookman put in a fantastic 5 minutes- great for the lad to get off to a positive start and when he bulks out/grows up he will be even better!

Lukaku definitely been asked to take him under his wing. Can't be a bad thing for the lad Lookman, training with and having Lukaku as your mentor.

Whenever I suggest to a young fella on FM that he learns from a more experienced player they generally tell me to jump in a lake.

Bloody kids these days.

Early doors to be saying this sort of thing! Even Lukaku waited til international weekends! Haha!

...yep, he is tiny and I thought similar but he has been a regular starter in league football and that doesn't normally happen if you are unable to cope physically (and mentally). Sterling is small but as strong as a bull, I dare say they'll have him on the weights at USM FF.

....it must be difficult for the lad moving to a big club in a different part of the country. I'd imagine he has family with him but it will take some settling in. Saying that, driving into work will be a lot easier for him after yesterday. Scoring that goal will so much help him but I bet he's finding it all a bit strange.

Took his chance well. What a moment for the lad

In this Daily Mail article they reference a "secret scout" report on Lookman that has the following line relevant to his physicality:

His control when accepting the ball irritates the opposing full back, who cannot get an early tackle in as he shields the ball with good body strength.

How well did he take his goal by the way? That wasn't an easy ball to control, but that little cushion with the outside of the foot set him up perfectly. Really underappreciated skill that, imagine where that ball would have ended up if it fell to Oumar Niasse instead.
