Everton face a battle to keep hold of two of their rising stars. Both Ademola Lookman and Henry Onyekuru are being linked with exits.

According to Goal, Southampton have joined Red Bull Leipzig in pursuit of Lookman.

The 21-year-old winger spent time on loan at RB Leipzig, who want him permanently. But new Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl wants to reunite with the player he had at RB Leipzig.

Meanwhile, Turkish media outlet Star reports that Onyekuru is tempted to leave Everton to join Galatasaray permanently.

The 21-year-old has been on loan at Galatsaray this season, scoring nine times in 16 games.

But Everton must do all in their power to ensure that both players remain on their books. Lookman and Onyekuru could help form part of a devastating future attack.

They are both young, raw talents with the potential to establish themselves at Goodison Park.

Alongside another exciting youngster in Richarlison, Everton have some promising attackers for the future.

Marco Silva is building his long-term project at Everton and these young players have to be seen as central to the progression of the club.

Both Lookman and Onyekuru possess pace, skill and an eye for goal. If both players can fulfil their potential, then Everton could have one of the most exciting attacks around in the next few years.
