Derby County are keen to take Everton forward Ademola Lookman on loan.

The 19-year-old has been on the bench during Everton's pre-season preparations and Derby are among a host of clubs monitoring developments.

Manager Gary Rowett wants to add pace to his attack following the sale of Tom Ince to Huddersfield Town.

He has enquired about Preston North End's Callum Robinson and has had two bids rejected for Leicester City forward Tom Lawrence.

Rowett would be keen to take England U20 international Lookman should he be allowed to go on loan.

Lookman joined Everton for £7.5m last season from Charlton and made eight appearances, scoring once on his debut against Manchester City.

Ronald Koeman may yet decide to keep the teenager at Goodison though with Aaron Lennon discussing a loan move to Watford.

Everton are to play their final pre-season friendly on Sunday against Sevilla, who beat Arsenal 2-1 last weekend during the Emirates Cup.

The Goodison Park outfit then open their Premier League campaign against Stoke City on Saturday, August 12.

With the budget available, a loan signing and nothing else would be a bit disappointing 

I'm the opposite I'd rather us loan than spend for the sake of it if first choice targets aren't available. We utilised the loan market well before being stung with Ibe getting recalled. I'm guessing the rules remain the same this season as last and players can't be recalled. So it's less risky than signing more players contracted on big wages.

Quality and I did mentioned to him in suggestion thread (I believe I replied to @r4derby at the time?) 

Yep, you did indeed. We were talking about him and Calvert-Lewis. He's a talent, but others have said has predominantly played as a central attacker. Do we have space for a speedy striker if we can't get Nuge and/or Vydra a start?
