Derby County are interested in the Everton starlet, according to a report.

According to The Mail, Derby County want to sign Everton ace Ademola Lookman on loan.

The 19-year-old winger joined Everton for £11 million in January but he has not featured much under Ronald Koeman in their pre-season preparations.

As a consequence, he might be allowed to leave the Goodison Park club on a temporary basis and, according to The Mail, Derby are willing to take him at the iPro Stadium.

Lookman, who joined the Toffees from Charlton this year, was initially a big hit on Merseyside, scoring on his debut against Manchester City but only seven Premier League outings followed.

With Derby selling Tom Ince this summer, Lookman could be the perfect candidate to replace the now-Huddersfield Town man as the Rams look to win promotion this season.

Everton, meanwhile, have splurged in excess of £100 million this summer and it remains to be seen if Lookman would get a look-in amid the new arrivals.

Gary Rowett’s side drew 1-1 in their Championship opener against Sunderland on Friday night.
