da pinnacle: Ademola Lookman was named in the starting XI for England’s Under-21 clash against Latvia Under-21s on Tuesday night, but the Everton attacker was replaced just past the hour.

da brwin: Lookman struggled to make his mark on the night, and England’s winner – scored by Mason Mount – arrived after the Toffees youngster had been replaced.

The 20-year-old was strongly linked with a move away from Everton during the summer transfer window, with RB Leipzig keen to re-sign the former Charlton Athletic youngster.

Indeed, Lookman scored five times in 11 Bundesliga appearances whilst on loan at Leipzig last term, and was believed to be keen on a return this summer.

Everton ultimately kept hold of Lookman beyond the end of the summer window, but the attacker – signed by Ronald Koeman in January 2017 – has only played 33 minutes of Premier League football at the start of the 2018-19 campaign.
