Everton are said to be considering selling Ademola Lookman this summer, but only at a high price.
Getting £25 million for Ademola Lookman should be considered as another success for Marcel Brands at Everton.
There is no questioning that Lookman appears to be a real talent, and his future does appear to be exciting.
However, there are doubts over whether Everton is currently the right place for him. Or if he actually is good enough to start for the Toffees regularly at this moment in time.
Lookman showed in Germany, on a loan spell with Leipzig, that he is capable of playing senior football at the top level, but there is an argument to suggest that Richarlison and Bernard are both ahead of him at the moment.
Lookman made just four starts for Everton last term in the Premier League, which is highly unlikely to have aided his development.
It means that Everton are in a rare scenario where a move may be best for player and club.
Everton could still make a £14 million profit on Lookman, without him really making much of an impact at Goodison Park.
Marco Silva’s budget would then be increased, and he could reinvest the funds raised elsewhere on his squad, without losing much quality in his current team.
