Fulham manager Scott Parker has confirmed that Ademola Lookman will make his Premier League debut for the club against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, reports Completesports.com.
Lookman joined the Cottagers on loan from Bundesliga club RB Leipzig on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old made his first appearance for Fulham in Thursday’s Carabao Cup 3-0 defeat to Brentford.
“He’s not had a lot of minutes. He’s been training with Leipzig. It was good to get him on the pitch for 45 minutes,”Parker told a news conference on Friday.
”We saw in a short space of time the quality that he has, especially in one v one areas. Hopefully he’ll be involved in some capacity, whether that’s from the start or from the bench. ”

I indeed saw that rear quality for the time he was on the pitch. Only God knows why they refused to give this guy game times at Leipzig.
This guy was not familiar with the Bundesliga. I pray he gets that familiarity in England.
Quite happy Ademola is back in the Premiership to relaunch his career following lack of game time at Leipzig in the Bundesliga. Ademola is one young player I truly admire for his tenacity and enterprise on the field. His ability to hit the ball with great venom and accuracy outside the 18 yard box is highly commendable. This quality with his burning pace and trickery on the ball stands him out from many wingers.I hope he makes a remarkable success at Fulham as this would boost his chances of a possible call up to the Super Eagles, having expressed interest in representing Nigeria at the Senior level.
