Southampton Lining Up Move For Everton's Nigerian Winger

Published: January 08, 2019

Southampton manager, Ralph Hasenhuttl is reportedly lining up a move this window for talented Everton Nigerian striker, Ademola Lookman, as per reports from Daily Star.

The former RB Leipzig gaffer has earmarked the England U20 World Cup winner as a perfect addition to his team which is winless in their last four games.

Lookman who scored one of the goals in his side's 2-1 FA Cup win over Lincoln last time out has started just one Premier League game for the Toffees this season, accruing barely 459 minutes in all competitions this season.

Hasenhuttl orchestrated the 21-year-old's loan move to Leipzig last season where his talents came to fore with five goals and four assists produced in just eleven outings in the German Bundesliga.

Southampton could, thus seek a short-term agreement for the youngster who is behind the pecking order of attackers at the Goodison Park to help reinforce their own front line.

The Nigeria Football Federation target is contracted to Everton till June 2021.
