Red Bull Leipzig appear to be ready to test Everton's resolve over Ademola Lookman again according to a report in Germany.

The Bundesliga side have been trying to land the talented forward since his successful loan spell there last year but the Blues rebuffed their advances in each of the last two transfer windows.

Kicker are reporting that Leipzig aren't giving up on Lookman, however, and will try again with a fresh bid this summer while MailSport claim that the Germans have submitted a revised offer of £22.5m after having a £13m bid turned down.

Updates Sky Sports are now saying that Everton have received an official offer from Leipzig. The Mail report it to be the previously mentioned £22.5m but the offer is pegged at around £15m by Paul Joyce of The Times and Andy Hunter of The Guardian and it has been rejected.

Meanwhile, the BBC's Phil McNulty reports that Everton have put a £25m asking price on Lookman and are not prepared to sell him on the cheap.
