AC Milan reportedly want to sign Lookman, but Premier League Everton want to keep the winger at Goodison Park.
AC Milan are looking to the Premier League as they attempt to sign a new winger before the end of the January transfer window.
But, after being told that Watford have no interest in letting Gerard Deulofeu return to the San Siro, the Mirror reports that Everton have also rejected their offer for the ever-improving Ademola Lookman.
Two years after he arrived at Goodison Park from Charlton Athletic for £11 million (Liverpool Echo), Lookman is belatedly starting to establish himself at the Toffees, having ousted Theo Walcott from the first XI in recent weeks.
As a result, the Mirror believes that Everton have rebuffed an enquiry from AC Milan.
The Rossoneri might not have given up just yet however and it is understood that they could now make a formal bid before Thursday’s transfer deadline.
Sky reported in the summer that Everton were demanding £28 million for the 21-year-old winger when RB Leipzig attempted to bring him to the Bundesliga.
Lookman enjoyed a brilliant loan spell at Leipzig in the second half of last season, scoring five goals in seven league games.
