**_Arsenal have reportedly identified Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman as a potential alternative to Chelsea's Noni Madueke this summer._**
The Gunners remain in talks with Chelsea over a deal for England international Madueke, with personal terms already agreed.
However, Arsenal are also assessing backup options should negotiations with Chelsea collapse.
According to **_[Simon Jones of Mail Sport](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14885401/Transfer-Confidential-news-Kudus-Nwaneri-Elanga-Tottenham-Arsenal-Forest-Liverpool.html)_**, Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman is one of the names under consideration at the Emirates.
The 27-year-old is expected to leave the Serie A side this summer, with Arsenal among several interested clubs.
However, as previously reported, the Gunners are not prepared to meet Atalanta's £52m asking price for their star winger.
