Everton winger Ademola Lookman impressed on loan at RB Leipzig last season.

RB Leipzig manager Ralf Rangnick has confirmed that he is still in talks with Everton over Ademola Lookman.

Lookman spent the back end of last season on loan at Leipzig, and he impressed with the German side.

The Daily Mirror have now claimed that the attacker wants to move away from Goodison Park.

And Rangnick has confirmed that his side are working on a permanent deal to bring the winger back.

“I think 3 more signings is realistic,” he said. “We’re still in talks over Lookman – we want him back and he wants to come. We’re also looking at something in central midfield, whether that’s a no. 6, 8 or 10.”

Everton have already reportedly rejected one offer for Lookman, but whether they will be able to keep hold of him remains to be seen.

The Toffees may need to promise the £11 million signing from Charlton regular first-team action to satisfy him.

Everton have changed managers, and there were hopes that Marco Silva would be far more willing to play Lookman than Sam Allardyce was.

However, with Leipzig so keen on the youngster, Everton’s resolve to keep the youngster is sure to be tested.
