RB Leipzig plan to make a move for Everton attacker Ademola Lookman in the summer transfer window, according to The Liverpool Echo.

Lookman spent the second half of this past season at German club Leipzig on loan from Premier League side Everton.

The 20-year-old did well during his spell, scoring five goals and providing three assists in seven starts in the Bundesliga, according to WhoScored.

Leipzig are an ambitious club and the Bundesliga is a very good domestic league, and Lookman, who earns £23,000 per week as salary according to Spotrac.com, could be tempted to make a permanent deal this summer.

However, it would be wise of the youngster to first speak to the new Everton manager and see whether he is in his plans.

Perhaps the England Under-21 international attacker should see how much playing time he gets in the first half of next season before making a decision on his future.
