Everton are set to sell winger Ademola Lookman to RB Leipzig.
According to the Daily Mail, Everton winger Ademola Lookman is poised to undergo a medical with RB Leipzig ahead of his £22.5million move.
Lookman, 21, struggled for playing time under Marco Silva last season, starting just three Premier League games whilst making 18 substitute appearances.
The Englishman just hasn’t appeared to fit in at Everton since his £11million move from Charlton Athletic in the January transfer window of 2017 (BBC).
Everton are now set to cash in on Lookman, selling for £22.5million, of which £18million is up front, and his medical will take place within hours.
Lookman is quick and dangerous, but he has failed to really turn that into end product with the Toffees, meaning they’re now happy to cash in.
Everton are doubling their money on Lookman, making a major profit on a former Steve Walsh signing, which isn’t something that can be said often.
Leipzig will be delighted to have finally landed their man, having wanted Lookman permanently last summer after five goals and three assists in an 11-game loan spell.
Leipzig appears to be the best place for Lookman to continue his development, and whilst he’ll hope to become another Jadon Sancho, Everton may just hope to turn that money into a permanent deal for Kurt Zouma.
