Southampton keen on £20m Ademola Lookman deal

Southampton are reportedly keen on securing the services of Everton winger Ademola Lookman this summer.

The Independent claim that Lookman is a key target for Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl, with the club looking at a possible £20m move.

Southampton were recently linked with a surprise move for Lookman’s Everton teammate, Yannick Bolasie.

The 29-year-old is expected to leave Goodison Park over the summer and is also attracting interest from Newcastle United.

However, Lookman appears a more realistic signing for the club, with Hasenhuttl keen on targetting younger players this summer in a bid to develop them at St Mary’s.

The dynamic winger is also reportedly being monitored by Bournemouth and RB Leipzig, with Lookman spending an impressive six months under Hasenhuttl in Germany last year.

The England Under-21 international has two years left on his current Everton contract and was valued at £28m by the Toffees last year.

A £20m offer could be enough to tempt Everton into selling the youngster, who could prove to be an excellent addition for the Saints.
