Premier League giants Arsenal are reportedly leading the race to sign Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman.
Arsenal have entered the race to sign Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman, according to Italian outlet Football Italia.
While Real Madrid’s Rodrygo remains the Gunners’ top target to bolster their attack, Lookman’s versatility has made him a strong contender, with talks between the two clubs already underway.
Atalanta director Luca Percassi is reportedly holding multiple discussions ahead of the summer transfer window, which opens on July 1.
Italian sources suggest Atalanta would consider offers above €40m for the 27-year-old Nigerian international. Lookman could play his final game for Atalanta this Sunday, when they face struggling Parma at the Gewiss Stadium.
The reigning CAF Player of the Year has been in fine form, scoring 20 goals and providing seven assists in 39 appearances across all competitions.
Juventus have also been linked with him, but their focus is spread across other attacking targets, including Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres, and Rasmus Hojlund.
Lookman is no stranger to the Premier League, having played for Leicester City, Fulham, and Everton.
