According to the Liverpool Echo, Everton are growing more and more confident over holding onto Ademola Lookman.

Everton have had to fend off interest in Lookman throughout the summer so far.

Red Bull Leipzig have been pushing to sign the attacker, who they took on loan last season.

The German side have had multiple bids rejected, even though Lookman is said to favour a move away from Goodison Park.

And it seems that Everton are set to disappoint Lookman, as they are determined to keep hold of him.

The Toffees have set a high asking price for the youngster, who they paid £11 million for (BBC Sport), and are refusing to budge.

Even though Lookman is yet to make an impact at Everton this season, Marco Silva wants to keep him around.

And with the European transfer window set to close today, Everton do not envisage having any troubles keeping hold of Lookman.
