# Journalist confirms Ademola Lookman is among Crystal Palace targets

**Crystal Palace could firm up their long-standing interest in Ademola Lookman by making a bid this summer, according to** [**The Athletic**](https://theathletic.com/uk) **reporter Matt Woosnam.**

Lookman suffered relegation from the Premier League last season as [four goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ademola-lookman/leistungsdaten/spieler/406040/plus/0?saison=2020) in 35 appearances was not enough to stop Fulham making an immediate return to the Championship.

The 23-year-old is now back at Bundesliga side RB Leipzig after his [season-long loan](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54349929) switch to Craven Cottage came to an end, but the London-born winger could leave Germany in favour of a return to his homeland.

Patrick Vieira, who was [appointed](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/news/patrick-vieira-appointed-as-manager/2021-07-04/) as Roy Hodgson’s successor earlier this month, is looking to add reinforcements to his Palace squad ahead of the new season getting underway next month.

It has been [reported](https://theathletic.com/2706906/2021/07/14/crystal-palace-transfers-gallagher-lookman-and-rogers-interest-as-vieira-looks-to-freshen-squad/) that Lookman, who also counts Charlton Athletic and Everton among his former clubs, is among a number of youthful stars on the Eagles’ radar.

Lookman has been a wanted man at Selhurst Park for some time, it has been revealed.

Speaking to The Transfer Tavern, Woosnam said: *“Palace have had a long-standing interest in him.*

*“A lot of clubs are probably going to be interested in him but I think it would be a good move, certainly after losing Andros Townsend.*

*“It would be a good signing and I don’t think he would be hugely expensive either, so it wouldn’t eat up too much of the transfer budget.”*
