# Silva encourages Lookman to continue impressing

Marco Silva has encouraged Ademola Lookman to continue to force himself into the club’s first-team plans.

The former Charlton Athletic starlet has turned in some impressive cameo appearances in the last few weeks, including a longer half hour showing against Manchester United.

And Silva has praised the England Under-21s international, while also challenging him to continue working hard.

Talking ahead of Everton’s clash against Brighton on Saturday, as reported on the club’s [official website](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2018/11/02/silva-evertontv-wingers), Silva said:

> First, I want to see him playing like he trains, doing in the match what he is doing in training sessions.

> And what he can do in the training sessions is really, really good; the quality he shows in some moments.

> I want him to transfer that to the matches. I understand it is not always easy in 10 or 15 minutes but he can do it – like he did against Crystal Palace.

> I want to see him keep enjoying it, doing well and playing with good intensity and a good attitude.

> He has great quality and he could be better and better and better in the future.

> When he can work hard and his mind is clear like it is now – and for the past month he has been working and enjoying it and coming in with a smile on his face to work in a good environment – he can do better and better every day.
