Everton are said to be close to signing Watford’s Richarlison.

RB Leipzig are preparing a fresh bid of £17 million for Everton winger Ademola Lookman, according to the Sun.

Lookman impressed while on loan to Leipzig during the second half of last season, and is said to be keen on a permanent return to Germany with his place in Everton’s team far from guaranteed.

The newspaper claims the Toffees have already turned down two offers for the 20-year-old – the last one £14 million plus add-ons – and value him at £20 million.

The report follows speculation Everton are set to spend up to £50 million on Watford winger Richarlison, whose arrival could further reduce Lookman’s playing time at Goodison Park.

Richarlison starred under Everton boss Marco Silva at Watford, but failed to provide a single goal or assist after the Portuguese was sacked midway through the campaign.

Everton acquired Lookman from Charlton Athletic for a reported fee of £8 million 18 months ago.

Should Everton sell Lookman to accommodate Richarlison?
