Arsenal is keeping an eye on Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman as the summer transfer window approaches. The London club is reportedly considering a move to bring him to the Premier League.
According to German sports journalist Florian Plettenberg from Sky Sport DE, Arsenal has now joined Juventus in the race to sign the talented forward. Both clubs are interested in adding Lookman to their squads for next season.
One of the main reasons Arsenal is interested in Lookman is his ability to play in different attacking roles. His versatility makes him a valuable option for any team.
Reports from Italy say that Atalanta has put a price tag of around €40 million on the 27-year-old. That shows how important he is to the team and how much interest he’s attracting from top European clubs.
Lookman could be playing his final match for Atalanta this Sunday against Parma. After that, his future might become clearer as transfer talks progress.
This season, Lookman has had an impressive performance. He has scored 20 goals and provided 7 assists in 39 matches across all competitions. His strong form is one of the reasons he’s drawing attention from big clubs like Arsenal.
If the Gunners decide to go ahead with the transfer, Lookman could bring extra power and creativity to their attack.
