The race for Atalanta striker Ademola Lookman is heating up as Arsenal becomes the latest Premier League club to express interest in the Nigerian forward. With his time in Bergamo likely coming to an end this summer, several top-tier English clubs are preparing to make their move.
Lookman`s three-year stint with Atalanta appears to be drawing to a close, particularly following mid-season tensions with coach Gian Piero Gasperini. This situation has caught the attention of multiple clubs, who are closely monitoring developments.
Arsenal Joins the Hunt for Lookman
Reports suggest that Arsenal has added the 27-year-old to their list of potential transfer targets for the upcoming window. The Champions League semi-finalists view Lookman as a valuable addition to bolster their attacking options.
However, the Gunners face stiff competition in their pursuit. Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool are all reportedly poised to initiate discussions with Lookman`s representatives in the near future.
International Interest in Atalanta`s Star
The list of suitors extends beyond the Premier League, with Barcelona and Juventus also expressing interest. Both clubs have already engaged in preliminary talks regarding the striker`s potential transfer.
Lookman has shown consistent improvement during his time at the Gewiss Stadium, with his goal-scoring prowess growing each season. Currently, he boasts an impressive tally of 18 goals in 37 appearances across all competitions this season.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the competition for Lookman`s signature is expected to intensify, with multiple top clubs vying for the talented forward`s services.
