Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, Southampton mull over move for Super Eagles hopeful

Published: July 25, 2021

Premier League trio Southampton, Newcastle United and Crystal Palace are being linked with a potential swoop for Super Eagles hopeful Ademola Lookman this summer.

Chronicle Live says Newcastle United have been offered the chance to sign Lookman who is also interesting Southampton, and the winger is rated at £10million.

The 2017 U20 World Cup winner with England was first linked with the Magpies in January 2020 when he was struggling for game time at RB Leipzig.

Newcastle United may be put off by RB Leipzig's valuation of Lookman as they are operating on a shoestring budget before last week's hammer blow about arbitration.

The 23-year-old proved last season that he can hold his own in the Premier League, scoring four goals and assisting four others in 31 starts for demoted Fulham.

Crystal Palace have identified Lookman as a potential signing if he would come on loan, but he's not the only winger on the wish list as Arsenal's Reiss Nelson and PSV's Noni Madueke are also players of interest.

Lookman has three years to run on his current contract at RB Leipzig, whom he joined from Everton.
