Published: January 16, 2020Newcastle United have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman as his German club RB Leipzig have insisted that he won't be loaned out in the January transfer window.
RB Leipzig signed the former England U20 international on a permanent basis from Everton last summer but his second spell in Germany has not been successful so far due to a lack of playing opportunities.

"It was certainly not an easy first round for him," Mintzlaff told Sky Deutschland.

"Ademola is a player who has already proven to us that he has a lot of quality."
