Everton, RB Leipzig in for Arsenal, Liverpool target Ademola Lookman

Everton have reportedly joined the race for Charlton Athletic's Ademola Lookman.

The talented 19-year-old forward has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur in recent times.

The Mirror suggests that the Toffees are planning a January move for Lookman who is admired by the Goodson Park club's director of football Steve Walsh, who watched the England U20 international when he was head of recruitment at Leicester City.

The Daily Mail also reported that aspiring German powerhouse RB Leipzig, who sit second in the Bundesliga, were in town to watch Lookman in action against Chesterfield last weekend.

The youngster was the subject of a bid from Crystal Palace in the summer and while Charlton were able to keep him at The Valley, the London club will be bracing themselves for further offers this winter.

Lookman, who has been with Charlton since 2014, has scored three goals in League One so far this season for a total of 10 goals in 41 outings for the Addicks.
