Ademola Lookman Summer Transfer Odds

RB Leipzig forward Ademola Lookman is a player that could be on the move once again this summer, having spent last season out on loan at Fulham, impressing at the Cottagers, scoring four times and creating four assists in 34 appearances despite Fulham being relegated from the Premier League.

The 23-year-old former Charlton Athletic youngster has made just 11 Bundesliga appearances since joining Leipzig from Everton in the summer of 2019 on a permanent basis and will be desperate to leave this summer if he is not guaranteed first-team football under new manager Jesse Marsch.

Crystal Palace are the favourite to sign Lookman according to the bookies, as the Eagles are in the process of having a squad overhaul in order to reduce the average age of their squad.

Following Andros Townsend’s release from the Selhurst Park club this summer upon the expiry of his contract, seeing him join Everton on a free transfer, the Eagles are now without a first-choice right-winger meaning that there is the opportunity for Wilfried Zaha to move to the opposite flank with Lookman having the chance to make the left-wing his own, although the Ivorian often does play down the middle for the Eagles.

Lookman possesses good pace and ball-carrying ability which are traits that Palace’s wingers have tended to have since their arrival into the Premier League with the likes of Yannick Bolasie previously proving to be a big hit. The Leipzig man’s age could also play a big factor as he is still young at 23-years-old and could make further developments to his game at Palace and could join for a relatively cheaper fee or on loan having been on the fringes at the Bundesliga outfit.

Brighton are also interested in the signing of Lookman, as they are looking to add more quality to their squad in attacking positions on the pitch.

Last campaign, Brighton were often the creators of their own downfall having only managed to hit the back of the net 40 times from an expected goals tally of 53.82, which ultimately cost the Seagulls a lot of points, the addition of Lookman could help Graham Potters side in terms of chance creation and goalscoring, as the 23-year-old was involved in eight of Fulham’s 27 league goals.

Something that could also play a factor into Brighton making a move for Lookman is the fact that they’ve recently sold Iranian international Alireza Jahanbakhsh to Dutch Eredivisie side Feyenoord for an undisclosed fee, meaning that they will have space in their squad for another forward.

Lookman is priced at 10/1 to join Brighton for the upcoming 2021/22 season.

Watford are the next team to enter on this list of clubs that have shown an interest in the signature of Lookman, as the Hornets are looking to build on their promotion from the Championship last season.

As proven by last season’s showing at Fulham, Lookman would be a good signing for Watford, having showcased his ability at another newly promoted team last time out. The 23-year-old would bring some Premier League experience to a squad that lacks it in parts having had a revamp since they were relegated in the 2019/20 season.

Lookman could also be signed for a cheaper fee with being on the fringes of the first team at Leipzig, meaning that he will have a higher resale value should he reach his potential in the future.

The Hornets have the odds of 10/1 to sign Lookman from Leipzig.

Fulham are looking to bring the 23-year-old back to Craven Cottage despite being in the Championship this time around.

Marco Silva previously managed Lookman at Everton and is looking to build a squad that can earn the Cottagers their third promotion in five seasons following last season’s 18th placed finish.

Lookman will be familiar with the surroundings at Fulham and could potentially find himself a new long-term club if he was to go back to Craven Cottage and help earn his old side promotion, but there is the factor of risk for reward in this strategy, however, following last season’s eight-goal contributions, there is the likelihood that he will be a success in the Championship should he ever play there.

Lookman is priced at 14/1 to re-sign for Fulham.
