Ademola Lookman is on the verge of sealing a transfer to Premier League club Leicester City.
Talks progressed well between Bundesliga club RB Leipzig and Leicester City on Monday and the winger will become the Foxes fifth signing of the summer transfer window.
Sky Sports are now reporting that Lookman is currently “undergoing his medical” ahead of a season-long loan move , with the deal having an option to make it permanent next summer.

The pacy winger spent last season on loan with Fulham, where he caught the eye, despite the Cottagers’ relegation back to the Championship.
He scored four goals and provided a further four assists in 34 league appearances for Fulham.
Lookman joined RB Leipzig from Everton but has failed to establish himself as a first-team regular in the Bundesliga before heading to Fulham on a temporary deal.

Audacious baller… my vote dey bag for you! Please do and go and collect passport for Nigeria make you pull-on the green fast! Salute… Lookman!
Lookman will soon become the best winger in the Eagles squad. Brilliant move.
Good move, all the best Lookman
what is taking so long with this boys switch??. With this move Nigeria only has a few months left 2 at most to make the switch concrete..
NFF and Rohr don’t say I never warned you. If England comes knocking at Lookmans door and switch is not finalized we can kiss Lookman good bye. He has already agreed so please make it official. 2 or 3 good show at Leicester is all it will take for Southgate. I don talk my own
Has fifa cleared lookman?
This guy rejected Nigeria in the past. Even though the news came out not too long ago of him wanting to switch allegiance to Nigeria, we know it’s because he didn’t get a look in from England. What makes people think that if he joins Leicester and starts firing on all cylinder and England comes knocking on the door, he won’t still ditch Nigeria? This is unlike Iwobi and some others who made it known early enough that they wanted to turn out for Nigeria and not because they didn’t get into a particular national team
And….Akpoguma did not reject Nigeria? He will eventually play for Nigeria.
I don’t have anything against him neither am I saying he won’t play for Nigeria. I’m just saying in the event he’s yet to complete his switch to Nigeria and England comes calling due to fantastic performance for Leicester, would he stick to his decision to play for Nigeria? As regards Akpoguma, let’s not forget the opportunity to play for Germany didn’t come his way
