Arsenal are joined by as much as 6 other Premier League clubs in the race for Nigerian attacker. The player has been in superb form this season and is surely moving away from his curent club this summer.
The star in question here is Ademola Lookman of Atalanta. The Nigerian star has been superb since joining the Italian club in 2022. He has so far played 110 games for Atalanta and has been able to register 50 goals along with 21 assists.
Lookman has played in various positions for Atalanta. He has played as striker, attacking midfielder and left winger. The Italian club is very happy with him but will have to part ways with him this summer as the player eyes new challenge.
Lookman has an agreement with Atalanta that they will let him leave this summer. The Nigerian has interest from whole Europe but Premier League seems likes his next destination. As of now, he has intrest from as much as 7 English clubs.
Arsenal joined by 6 others in race for Lookman
Gunners have been linked with Lookman since a very long time. Mikel Arteta will like a versatile player like Lookman in his side. The Nigerian can compete with all Martinelli, Odegaard and Kai Havertz for the starting position.
However, it will not be easy for Arsenal to sign Lookman due to heavy competition. According to Caught Offside, the 27 year old is also looked upon by Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and Aston Villa.
All of these clubs can be a tempting destination for Lookman. This increases the chances of the Nigerian ending up at Premier League this summer. As of now, the 27 year old will focus on current season as Atalanta are in Serie A title race. They are on 3rd position and are trailing the table toppers by just 6 points.
