RB Leipzig agree £22.5 million for Lookman

German Bundesliga club RB Leipzig and Premier League side Everton have agreed a deal worth £22.5 million for the 21-year-old Nigerian Ademola Lookman, according to media reports.

The deal is structured with an up-front fee of £18m plus £4.5m in add-ons.  

Leipzig have been keen on bringing the youngster back to the club since he impressed on loan there in the second half of the 2017/18 campaign.

Lookman made 21 appearances in the Premier League for Everton last season, but only three of those came in one of Marco Silva’s starting XIs.

The young wide man will undergo a medical with the Bundesliga club at the start of this week before putting pen to paper on a five-year contract.

He played on loan at the Bundesliga side in 2017/2018 season, scoring five goals in 11 games
