Lookman eyes Leipzig success

Published on: 25 July 2019

Ademola Lookman is aiming to help RB Leipzig "celebrate great successes" after joining on a five-year deal from Everton.

The 21-year-old England Under-21 international forward had scored four goals in 48 appearances for Everton after joining from Charlton in January 2017.

Of course, I am also looking forward to seeing my teammates again and would like to help the team to continue to celebrate great successes.

However, Lookman's struggle to become a first-team regular at Goodison Park resulted in him joining Leipzig on a season-long loan in 2017-18.

He scored five goals in 11 appearances with the Bundesliga side, before returning to Everton last season.

Lookman again struggled for game-time under current Toffees' boss Marco Silva who has now allowed him to return to the Red Bull Arena for a fee in the region of £22.5 million.

Looking ahead to his return to Leipzig, Lookman told the club's website: "I am very happy to be back here and would like to continue where I left off in the second half of 2018 for RB Leipzig.

"Of course, I am also looking forward to seeing my teammates again and would like to help the team to continue to celebrate great successes.

"Finally I can play again in the Red Bull Arena in front of this great backdrop and the fans. And last but not least, I would like to thank God, the fans and RB Leipzig for making my move possible."

RB Leipzig are 14/1 to win the Bundesliga title in 2019-20 and 11/2 to win the title without Bayern Munich, while they are priced at 7/1 to lift the DFB Pokal.
