Everton reportedly have a decision to make regarding Ademola Lookman.

The Mirror has reported that Everton have received an improved offer from RB Leipzig for Ademola Lookman.

The Bundesliga outfit lodged a second offer of around £17 million for the highly-rated winger in July [The Sun] but it was nowhere near Everton’s £30 million valuation.

However, The Mirror have reported that Leipzig have now upped their previous bid by tabling a £22 million offer.

If true, this represents their third attempt to re-sign the 20-year-old – who spent the second half of last season on loan with the Germans – after their initial proposal of around £14 million.

The former Charlton Athletic starlet hasn’t featured for the Toffees yet this season but head coach Marco Silva said recently that the English star was in his plans, despite deals for Richarlison and Bernard pushing Lookman down the pecking order at Goodison Park somewhat.

If Everton knock back Leipzig’s latest attempt then Ralf Rangnick’s side still have until August 31 to come back with a fourth effort.
