Leipzig's Ademola Lookman

Leeds [UK], July 25 (ANI): Ademola Lookman has made a move from Everton to RB Leipzig as he signed a five-year contract with the club on Thursday.
Lookman expressed happiness over joining the club again.
"I am very happy to be back here and would like to continue where I left off in the second half of 2018 for RB Leipzig. Of course, I am also looking forward to seeing my team-mates again and would like to help the team to continue to celebrate great successes," Goal.com quoted Lookman as saying.
"Finally I can play again in the Red Bull Arena in front of this great backdrop and the fans. And last but not least, I would like to thank God, the fans and RB Leipzig for making my move possible," he added.
The club's sporting director Markus Krosche said that they worked hard to get Lookman.
