Everton reject fresh approach from AC Milan for winger Ademola Lookman
The Italian giants have been told the 21-year-old is not for sale, though Gennaro Gattuso will look to make a second approach before the window shuts
EVERTON have rejected an approach by AC Milan for 21-year-old forward Ademola Lookman, according to reports.
Lookman is highly thought of at Goodison Park, making 15 appearances in all competitions and netting against Lincoln City in the FA Cup.
report that AC Milan approached Everton regarding a deal for Lookman, though the Serie A side were told the winger is strictly not for sale.
Gennaro Gattuso is keen to sign him on a permanent deal and will look to test Everton with another bid before the window shuts tomorrow.
Last season Lookman was loaned to RB Leipzig in January, where he scored five goals in 11 games.
His performances in Germany led to Leipzig lodging unsuccessful bids of up to £25million this season.
Although Everton chiefs are holding firm over the sale of Lookman, the Toffees face a battle to keep Idrissa Gueye.
French champions PSG have already seen a £25m bid rejected for him, however, Arsenal and Manchester City have joined the race for the 29-year-old.
Gueye has informed Everton of his desire to quit Goodison Park to join Neymar and Co at Parc des Princes.
Arsenal boss Unai Emery is desperate for further reinforcements as he looks to mould the squad in his own vision.
Pep Guardiola is also interested as he searches for a long-term successor to enforcer Fernandinho.
Gueye has hit heart set on PSG but the Toffees are determined to stick to their guns and hold on to their ace.
