Super Eagles hopeful Ademola Lookman is reportedly unsure about making a move to Premier League club Burnley.

According to the Sun UK, Burnley are struggling to close a deal for the 2017 U20 World Cup winner with England.

Crystal Palace are also in the picture for Lookman and manager Patrick Vieira is looking to secure him on a season-long loan from RB Leipzig.

In his search for a winger to bolster the squad, Burnley manager Sean Dyche has turned his attention towards Maxwel Cornet, who is valued in the region of £15million by Lyon.

Lookman was not picked for RB Leipzig's DFB Pokal clash against Sandhausen on Saturday due to fitness issues.

The German club initially loaned the winger from Everton in January 2018 and eighteen months later he was signed on a permanent deal for a fee of 18 million euros.

Lookman impressed while on loan at Fulham last season, scoring four goals and providing four assists in 35 matches.
