Bundesliga outfit Red Bull Leipzig are reportedly set to make a third bid for Everton attacker Ademola Lookman.

According to the Daily Mail, the German club will make an improved £18million offer for the speed machine after seeing their initial two bids rejected by the Premier League side.

The report details that the Toffees are holding out for £20million for the English youngster.

Lookman spent the second half of last season on loan with Leipzig, where he managed to seriously impress and prove he is a talented wide man.

He made just 11 appearances for them, scoring five goals and supplying four assists in return.

Lookman has not quite had the desired impact at Goodison Park since he joined from Charlton Athletic, but it looks like it could take a £20million sum to prize him away.

New Everton boss Marco Silva is currently preparing his squad for the upcoming season and it’s unclear if Lookman will remain with the club.

The Toffees youngster is one of many English players to make an impact in the German league and Leipzig seem intent on his signature with an imminent third offer set to arrive.
