I think he'll be staying in Germany. Not necessarily at Leipzig, but maybe BVB or Bayern will take an interest if he keeps playing well.

It's been a day since I wrote the above Lookman comparison with other players. Alfonso Pedraza has given another assist in La Liga, against Villareal. Harry Wilson has scored on his debut for Hull. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace didn't have any wide midfielders for the Everton match and lost 3-1.

I know a lot of people here expressed their hope that ADEMOLA LOOKMAN would be signed. There was talk this winter of an exchange between PVA (who Allardyce wants) and Lookman (who Hodgson would want). He has gone on loan to Red Bull Leipzig this winter and has scored on his debit, but it doesn't mean they'll make it permanent in the summer. I've seen Lookman play (not often, I admit). I see him like a hope for tomorrow. A possibility, not a certainty. However, as many players bought by PL clubs, he has become overrated. He keeps his head in the ground a lot when he plays, he forgets to pass the ball. What has he done by the age of 20?
Was used as a left back too, so knows how to defend better than Lookman. Now I'm not saying that Aarons is the best option. Let's look at other left footed players of similar ages: ALFONSO PEDRAZA, 21 yo, Alaves. He is Villareal's player. He was loaned to Leeds in The Championship last year (so is accustomed to English football), now is at Alaves in La Liga: As you can see, he has done a lot in the second tier, as opposed to Lookman who has mostly played in the third tier. I'm not saying Lookman is a bad player, but I'd like Pedraza more in my team, I think he'll do more in the future and I think he will become the better footballer in the years to come. Plus, his price wouldn't go beyond 3-4 million. RAPHINHA, 21 yo Brazilian with Italian passport (no, not the guy from Barca), plays for Vitoria Guimaraes. I've known this player since last year. He used to be really cheap when I first started talking about him. I knew he would steadily improve. This season he has been even better: THEO BONGONDA, 22 yo Belgian player, belongs to Celta Vigo, but is beyond me why they loaned him out this year (they are using Iago Aspas and Pione Sisto as starters on the wings but they don't really have backups should something happen to them). Still, Celta considered that Bongonda should get playing time. He hasn't gotten this in Trabzonspor. I know, you'll say "How could a player who wasn't able to get playing time in Trabzonspor play in the Premier League?" But football in Turkey is something very hard to understand. They're doing things very hastily, they don't make long term plans and there are a lot of groups of interests (like agents or club presidents) there which pressure the managers to play the players which they want to promote. So, even though Trabzonspor is a rich club, it is somewhat unprofessional. I don't judge Bongonda by not playing there, I judge him by what he did while playing: Celta bought him for 1 million. As they keep loaning him out and not using him, they should probably sell for around 3-4 million.
Just out of interest, how do you know this? Are you actually Roy or Ray Lewington?

I had a chat with a member of Everton's staff last night about the boy and how I thought he would be a great fit at Palace, was told he has attitude from hell, thinks he is Number 1 at Everton and treats the staff like S**t Wont train hard and the big money gone to his head, Not liked by the staff and this is why He was allowed to go out on loan by Big Sam. If this is 100% true then an "attitude" player is definitely not what we need. Steer well clear Roy, but then again our staff probably know these sort of things already.

If this is true it's a shame. How many players with loads of talent F@$! up their careers with their stupid egos.

I see he has scored twice today for Leipzig against Wolfsburg. I can see Everton bringing him back and offloading Bolasie.
