The winger rejoined the German club, this time permanently, in the summer but has found gametime hard to come by on his return to the Red Bull Arena
This isn't how it was supposed to go for Ademola Lookman.
The talented winger, for so long underused and underappreciated at Goodison Park, was supposed to be enjoying a new lease of life back in the Bundesliga with RasenBallsport Leipzig, the club with whom he enjoyed a very fruitful tryst a season and a half ago.
A six-month loan spell in the latter half of the 2017/18 season saw him produce five goals and four assists in 11 appearances, fuelling excitement that he was set to take on a more expansive role upon his return to Merseyside.
