Lookman apparently forced the move and to be honest I don't blame him. There's been almost no consequences to playing badly for Everton since Allardyce took charge. Fans have been frustrated that he hasn't been given a chance and after he did quite well in the FA Cup derby he wasn't even in the next squad. I think he's given up and decided to try and prove himself at RB Leipzig. I wish him all the luck and hope he comes back a better player and reaps the benefits of living and playing abroad. He's a great talent.

We were in for Lookman and nearly had the deal done apparently. I heard BFS tried to convince him to stay in England but he forced the move through to Leipzig instead.
Shame, as he would've been just what we needed on the wing for the last half of the season, but we ended up with Kacey Palmer instead.
Hopefully Palmer will be good for us, but we are unlikely to be able to play him in his most effective position down the middle that often.

Looks like he’s made a flying start. Scored the winner after coming on as a sub..

really interesting how some of the younger english players are heading abroad on loan, ones that caught the eye are Ademola Lookman to RB Leipzig, Reece Oxford to Borussia Mönchengladbach, Rolando Aarons to Hellas Verona, and Chuba Akpom to Sint-Truidense.
Ademola Lookman especially heading off to Germany was a shock, even though it shows Allardyce's need to win now, and results being the all important thing, rather than player development. Lookman had appeared decent, wonder if he gets another chance when he returns from Germany.
