Everton have parted ways with highly-rated youngster Ademola Lookman, who has joined German side, RB Leipzig.
Tony Cascarino has shared his brutally honest thoughts on Everton departee Ademola Lookman by stating that he needs some ‘growing up’ to do.
Winger Lookman sealed a permanent transfer to German side RB Leipzig on Thursday, with the Bundesliga outfit paying £22.5 million for his services, as reported by BBC Sport.
During his time at Goodison Park, Lookman hasn’t been able to make a name for himself as he has struggled with form and regular game time.
Speaking to Weekend Sports Breakfast on TalkSport (27/07/2019 at 8:40 am), former Republic of Ireland striker Cascarino expects Lookman to struggle at his new club.
“A tough one because he’s been away before, but he’s never really found his career at Everton,” Cascarino told TalkSport. “If If I am brutally honest, there is a lot of growing up for him to do there. I saw a bit of him at Charlton, there is a real player in there, but I think he’s got a long way before he’ll establish himself at the top level.
“Leipzig are one of the big teams in Germany. I think he’s going to be more of a miss than a hit. I hope I am wrong.”
Lookman will be familiar with RB Leipzig’s surroundings because he spent a short while on loan at the German club during the 2017-18 season.
If he can replicate that form then the Leipzig supporters will be in for a treat, and he may even come back to haunt Everton down the line.
