Leicester City sign Lookman from RB Leipzig

Leicester City, on Tuesday night, announced the signing of Nigeria prospect Ademola Lookman from RB Leipzig on loan.

Lookman was on loan at Fulham in the 2020/2021 season due to his inability to secure regular starts at Leipzig.

This season, however, he will feature for Leicester who are participating in the Europa League this season.

“Talented winger Ademola Lookman has joined Leicester City on loan from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, subject to Premier League approval,” a statement from Leicester read.

“The 23-year-old made 35 appearances for Fulham in the Premier League last term, during a season-long loan spell.”

Lookman, who is eligible to feature for Nigeria at the international level, becomes the sixth African at Leicester after Kelechi Iheanacho (Nigeria), Patson Daka (Zambia), Wilfred Ndidi (Nigeria), Daniel Amartey (Ghana), and Nampalys Mendy (Senegal).

He could be in line to make his debut for the Foxes against Manchester City on September 11.
