Lookman scores in final RB Leipzig game

Nigerian-born England forward Ademola Lookman ended his RB Leipzig loan spell from Everton with his fifth Bundesliga goal in 11 games, but they missed out on a Champions League spot.

Lookman has hit a wonderful patch of form lately and scored another brace as RB Leipzig easily dismissed Hertha Berlin 6-2 away.

The England Under-21 winger – on loan from Everton – cut in from the left before smashing in a low shot in a 6-2 win at Hertha Berlin.

He then assisted two Jean-Kevin Augustin goals before being replaced in the 62nd minute.

The Bundesliga-side have already reiterated that they would like to hold on to Lookman but there is no option to buy clause added to his loan deal in Germany.

Despite featuring for England at junior level, Lookman is still eligible to play for Nigeria since he has never appeared in a competitive game for England at senior level.
