Everton legend Leon Osman has urged English Premier League clubs to make a move for Super Eagles hopeful Ademola Lookman when his loan deal with Fulham expires at the end of the 2020-2021 season.

With the Cottagers candidates to make an immediate return to the Championship, they probably won't be an attractive option for the winger in the coming weeks, especially as there's no purchase clause in the deal bringing him from RB Leipzig.

Statistically, Lookman has been Fulham's standout player in the Premier League, scoring four goals and assisting four others - a decent return considering that he struggled a bit when he made the huge jump from the Championship to the Premier League in January 2017.

Though Osman sang the praises of the RB Leipzig loanee, he added that the 2017 U20 World Cup winner has to improve on his consistency.

"When he joined Everton he was young and raw, his ability is unquestionable. He has such skill," Osman said on Premier League Productions' Premier League Today on Wednesday morning.

"What he has lacked up till this point is consistency, I think you've started to see that more and more in his time this season at Fulham - he's started to get more end product.

"That's a chance that that club will take. Will they feel they can get more consistency out of him because if they can, then he's certainly a player that you want in your squad.

"He's somebody that can unlock the door of the opposition and they are quite hard to find".

Champions League hopefuls Leicester City have been strongly linked with a summer move for Lookman and a return to parent club RB Leipzig has been mooted.
