Fulham are close to signing RB Leipzig winger Ademola Lookman on a season-long loan with the deal set to be completed in the next 24 to 48 hours.
The 22-year-old Englishman was left out of Leipzig's squad for their 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, with the German club saying he was not selected "due to ongoing transfer discussions".
Lookman has only made one start since his £22.5m permanent move from Everton last summer, having previously impressed on loan in the 2017-18 season when he scored five goals in 11 Bundesliga games.
He started his career with Charlton before moving to Merseyside in 2017 - stepping up from League One - and made 48 appearances for Everton across all competitions before trying his luck in Europe.
He now looks set to return to the Premier League with Fulham, who have lost their opening three matches and find themselves bottom of the table on goal difference following promotion via the Sky Bet Championship play-offs last term.
However, Scott Parker's side have progressed to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, where they will face west London rivals Brentford on Thursday - live on Sky Sports Football.
