Arsenal are planning to make a move for Ademola Lookman. Lookman who plays for Atalanta has maket value of €40 million. He has been in fine form since making a move to Italy. As of now, the 27 year old is highly linked with move to Premier League where he used to play before joining Atlanta in 2022.
Arsenal are surely laking a spark in final third. They are often dependent on Saka and Havertz for goals. Havertz is used as striker which is not his preferred position. The German has experienced a dip in his form.
Arsenal have also been significantly weak on the left wing. Martinelli has failed to stay consistent whereas Trossard has also not been at his best. Hence, a move for winger and striker is very likely on the list of Arsenal next year.
Arsenal planning to make a move for Ademola Lookman
As per GiveMeSport, Gunners are keen to sign the Atlanta forward and are joined by Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle in the race. The player is also open to return to Premier League next year.
Lookman will be out of his current contract with Atalanta in 2026. Hence, the Italian side are ready to part ways with him next year and are demanding £25 million. This will be a good price for player like Lookman but there is also the other side to this deal.
The other side is Lookman has failed to make an impact in his time at England. He has played for Everton, Fulham and Leicester but has failed to perform well at any of these clubs. This injects the deal with a risk factor and it will be interesting to see if any English club is ready to take the risk.
If we speak about the current form, Lookman is one of the best attackers in Italy. He has already scored 10 goals and picked 5 assists in 16 games across Serie A and UEFA Champions League this season. Lookman can play as attacking midfielder, striker and left winger which makes him a key asset for any team.
