According to various reports, Everton are closing in on signing Charlton’s rising prospect Ademola Lookman.

The fee is said to be in the “region of £10 million”.

As reported by Sky Sports:

“Sky Sports News HQ understands the fee for the 19-year-old is in the region of £10m and it is anticipated the deal will go through in the next 24 hours.

It is expected that this move will be the start of a busy transfer window for Everton who are understood to also be looking for a central midfielder and centre half.

Manager Ronald Koeman recently confirmed he was interested in signing Lookman during the January transfer window, saying: “Yes. There is interest in the boy.”

Lookman has scored seven goals for the Sky Bet League One side this season and made his debut for the Addicks in November 2015.”
