Since Sam Allardyce took over Everton at the end of November, Ademola Lookman has played just 30 minutes of league football.

So the 20-year-old attacker will look to boost his senior experience at RB Leipzig, the German club credited with enhancing the careers of Joshua Kimmich, Timo Werner, Emil Forsberg, Naby Keita, and many others. Lookman will be on loan in Saxony until the end of the season.

The Wandsworth native joined Everton from Charlton Athletic for an initial £7.5-million fee last January. He was promptly introduced from the bench for his Toffees debut against Manchester City at Goodison Park, and scored in a 4-0 rout of Pep Guardiola's side.

Lookman's best appearance of the current campaign came against Apollon Limassol in December. The youngster scored a brace, with the first a smart header into the roof of the net, and the second a missile from around 30 yards.
