'Lookman Can Score Goals' - Ex-Tottenham Star Backs Winger To Save Fulham From Relegation
Published: February 22, 2021Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Garth Crooks is backing Ademola Lookman to save Fulham from being relegated at the end of the season.
Scott Parker's side have played exciting football on their return to the Premier League but have struggled to win matches, drawing ten out of a possible 25 and only Brighton & Hove in the division have drawn more games.
Lookman has been decisive for the Cottagers this term, with a hand in seven goals, more than any other Fulham player and Crooks believes his goals can help the southwest London club maintain their top-flight status.
In a 3-4-3 formation, the 2017 U20 World Cup winner was named in Garth Crooks' BBC Sport Team of the Week - with the winger earning praise for his man-of-the-match display against Sheffield United.
"Fulham on the other hand have started to find the net. Two against Everton recently and another one against Sheffield United, this time by a player who will be crucial to Fulham's fortunes if they are going to survive in the Premier League," writes Crooks.
"Ademola Lookman can score goals and has Fulham's sights firmly locked on Newcastle with only three points now separating the teams.
