Everton keen to keep Lookman

Everton are keen to keep hold of Ademola Lookman amidst interest from RB Leipzig, according to The Times.

The England U21 international spent the second half of last season on loan with the Bundesliga outfit and impressed with five goals in eleven appearances.

Leipzig are now keen to secure his services on a permanent basis though Toffees boss Marco Silva isn’t interested in doing business.

Lookman moved to Goodison Park from Charlton Athletic last January and has since played twenty-four times for the Merseyside outfit, scoring three goals.

He was named the 2016 EFL Championship Apprentice of the Year while internationally, he has been capped seven times for England’s U21s and was part of the squad that won the U20 World Cup last summer – scoring three times in the tournament.

After beating Southampton on Saturday afternoon, Everton travel to Bournemouth next and the away win can be backed at a price of 7/4.
