Marco Silva explains Ademola Lookman’s Everton omission

Everton winger Ademola Lookman was heavily linked with a move away from the club this summer.

The 20-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at RB Leipzig where he made a strong impact. The Bundesliga club were keen to sign him on a permanent deal in the summer, but Everton rejected all advances for the player they signed for £10m from Charlton Athletic in January 2017.

Lookman, who earns around £23k-per-week at the Merseyside club, was omitted from the Everton’s match-day squad that faced Wolves on Saturday in the Premier League.
