Supporters of Everton have demanded that the Toffees steer clear of Ademola Lookman following his reported departure.
According to Sky Sports, the 22-year-old Englishman appears to be on the move again after wanting to leave RB Leipzig and could move to Newcastle United (via The Gwladys Street), which had fans wishing he does not return to Goodison Park.

Four managers didn’t fancy him. He’s kicked off after half a season there. I think we have our answer

Not even for free. Short memories! There’s a reason he’s only got 131′ at Leipzig.

No way. Something isn’t right with him.

Would Ademola Lookman be a successful signing for Newcastle United?No, he's not good enough
Yes, he definitely has talent

While in the Bundesliga this term, Lookman has only made three appearances for his German club without registering a goal or an assist (per Transfermarkt).
During his two-and-a-half-year stay with the Toffees, the 22-year-old featured in 48 games for Everton, in which he scored only four goals and assisted two (per Transfermarkt), which left fans not wishing for his return.
No. If we didn’t want him and they dont want him then Newcastle will be a perfect fit.

Nope, another one who didn’t fancy the fight. Swerve.

Absolutely no. He’s not very good. Simple.

Nah he thought he is better than playing for us so it’s a no for me

Unfortunately doesn’t seem to have the attitude to match his potential. Such a waste of talent! Obviously don’t want him back @Everton but wish things had gone differently

What do we think?
While enjoying a flurry of success during his loan spell with Leipzig, in which he scored five and assisted four in 11 (per Transfermarkt), before his move was later made permanent, Lookman has not found consistent form since his Charlton days.
At stages of his career, he has, clearly, shown that he has talent, however, it has been nowhere near on a consistent basis. Perhaps Steve Bruce can get that out of him should the move happen.
