Everton’s Ademola Lookman is a target for Leipzig this summer.
German Bundesliga club RB Leipzig have made no secret in their desire to sign Everton star Ademola Lookman this summer, and now reports suggest they could spend £25million – and some Everton fans have reacted on Twitter.
The Liverpool Echo have claimed that Leipzig are willing to spend a huge £25million on the 20-year-old, just 18 months after Everton paid £11million to lure the England youth international to Goodison Park – providing the club with a £14million profit.
Lookman shined on loan at Leipzig last season, scoring five goals and creating another four strikes during his 11 Bundesliga appearances – with three of those goals coming in the last two outings.
He has made a lasting impression on Leipzig, who are determined to get their man – something which they could find easier to do after Everton completed a £50million deal to land Richarlison from Watford.
Known for his blistering speed and ability to play anywhere in the final third, Lookman still has three years remaining on his contract at Goodison Park – but the competition is tough.
As well as Richarlison, Everton boast Theo Walcott, Nikola Vlasic and Yannick Bolasie on the flanks, and that could see Lookman drop down to the bench at Everton rather than first-team football at Leipzig.
Despite that, Everton fans are desperate to keep Lookman – or indeed ask for more money.
