As reported by The Sun, Arsenal are interested in signing Everton youngster Ademola Lookman this January.
What’s the story?
The Gunners are always on the hunt for young English talent they feel can be mainstays in Arsene Wenger’s starting eleven and they’ve cast their eye on an impressive 19-year-old who definitely fits the bill.
The Sun reckon that Arsenal are keen on bringing Ademola Lookman back to London after he signed for Everton from Charlton less than a year ago.
The paper say the Toffees aren’t eager to sell but that a bid of £15m could tempt them into letting him leave the club.
Lots to prove
Lookman may have plenty of potential but he has a lot of learning to do and a lot to prove to be considered a reliable English Premier League talent.
He’s not played a single minute of top-flight football so far this term for the Toffees, which doesn’t exactly bode well for his chances of potentially getting into an Arsenal side.
However, the winger showed flashes of brilliance last term, making eight appearances in the Premier League, even scoring on his debut against Manchester City.
Arsene Wenger excels at working with youth and the Emirates is a great environment for him to improve his game, so the pieces are there for him to make an impact.
Can those pieces come together and provide the Gunners with the excellent English performer they’re looking for?
