Having got himself a move to RB Leipzig last season after a presumed lack of game time at Goodison Park since his switch from Charlton Athletic, Ademola Lookman has certainly featured on the rumour mill this summer with continuing questions about his future.

RB Leipzig have been a go-to club for that speculation as he enjoyed a good spell in the second half of the year with them, scoring five times in eleven appearances.

Speaking at a press conference after being announced as their new manager, Ralf Rangnick addressed the speculation linking the 20-year-old with a move back to the Bundesliga and he stated that he knew Lookman wanted a deal to go through.

How well this statement goes down at Everton remains to be seen, but if there are talks ongoing, I’d guess we won’t be too happy about him attempting to conduct negotiations in public. If talks aren’t ongoing that’s even worse given their derisory reported offer of £12million for him.

It certainly sparked some reaction on social media as this isn’t how you conduct business.
