According to RB Leipzig manager Ralf Rangnick, Ademola Lookman could still be allowed to leave Everton for the German side before the transfer window closes in Europe on Friday.

According to 'Sky Sports', Leipzig increased their offer to £25m plus add-ons on Saturday for the winger, while Everton are reportedly holding out for £28m. 

Rangnick remarked: "We'll see. Let's just wait another week. When you turn back time to the last day of the last transfer market, at 2pm we didn't even think about a loan of Ademola Lookman.

"It seemed impossible to get him. But four hours later we got the deal done. I said then that it wasn't a last-minute deal but a last-second deal.

"We don't plan to repeat this, because it was a very stressful situation for us. We'll just wait. When Everton wants to keep the player they will tell us. If not we'll see if there's a chance of still getting him."

Lookman impressed on a loan spell at Leipzig in the second half of last season, after scoring on his debut at the German side.
