Crystal Palace eager to sign Ademola Lookman in January

Already planning ahead towards what will be a pivotal January transfer window, Crystal Palace are one of a number of Premier League clubs believed to be interested in signing Everton attacker Ademola Lookman.

The Eagles have lacked pace in attack with Wilfried Zaha out due to injury and Lookman is a very similar player to the Ivorian winger.

Lookman signed for Everton in January from Charlton for a reported £11m and went on to make eight Premier League appearances last season and scored on his debut against Manchester City.

This season however, the 19-year-old winger has fallen out of favour with Ronald Koeman and he’s yet to make a single Premier League appearance.

After an impressive excursion with the England U20 side in the summer, helping the Young Lions win the U20 World Cup, many thought Lookman would be a regular fixture in the Everton first-team squad but it’s just not happened for him.

Palace reportedly tried to sign the attacker from Charlton before he joined Everton and will look to bring him to Selhurst Park in January but they could face competition from Huddersfield and Tottenham who are also interested.
