What do we think?
Football Insider report that a Newcastle source has told them that Lookman will join the club on loan till the end of the season with an option to buy that will activate in the summer.
Lookman only joined RB Leipzig last summer for £22.5m, but he has not impressed Julian Naglesmann, and it looks like he is now on the way to Tyneside to bolster Steve Bruce’s squad.
The former Everton man will see this as a chance to get his career back on track.
