Newcastle United are working on a deal to sign 2017 England U20 World Cup-winning winger of Nigerian descent Ademola Lookman, according to Sky Deutschland.<\/p>\n

RB Leipzig signed Lookman from Everton last summer but he wants to move onto pastures new six months after due to a lack of first-team opportunities.<\/p>\n

Assuming the move comes to fruition, the former Charlton Athletic wonderkid will spend the remainder of the 2019-2020 season on loan at the Magpies, with a subsequent purchase option inserted into the contract.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old cost RB Leipzig 18 million euros when he was acquired on a permanent basis in July 2019.<\/p>\n

He has logged 200 minutes in all competitions so far this season – 131 in the German Bundesliga and 69 in the UEFA Champions League – making only two starts.<\/p>\n

Lookman, who has four and a half years to run on his contract with RB Leipzig, is managed by Nigerian agent Emeka Obasi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
