Ademola Lookman's RB Leipzig transfer set to be confirmed as Everton agree fee for winger

Ademola Lookman's move to RB Leipzig is set to be confirmed tomorrow.

The 21-year-old will leave Everton on a permanent transfer after a deal in the region of £22.5m was agreed with the German club.

Lookman spent the second-half of the 2017-18 season on loan at Leipzig and wanted to return last summer but Everton refused to sell the winger.

However, the Blues' stance has changed 12 months on and they are tonight on the verge of finalising his sale.

Marco Silva was determined to try and unlock Lookman's full potential but admitted a player, who was only handed three Premier League starts last term, lacked consistency in training.

Everton are looking to add a winger to their squad this summer with a left-footed player, who can operate on the right-hand side, on their wishlist.
