One of the players on the radar of North London club is Ademola Lookman. The Nigerian has been in superb form and is surely going to leave Atalanta at the end of this season. He is also looked upon by Man United and Newcastle in England. In addition, he also has suitors from other parts of Europe.

As for Man United, they may struggle to convince Lookman if they fail to qualify for Champions League. As of now, it is impossible for them to finish in top four. Hence, their only option to play UCL next season is by winning Europa League.
Lastly, Newcastle have doubts over the future of Alexander Isak. The Swedish striker is key asset for Magpies and him leaving will put the club in urgent task to replace him. Lookman is highly versatile and can play big role for Eddie Howe.
Lookman can play as left winger, attacking midfielder and striker. Mikel Arteta can use him as first-choice winger and can also opt to use him as backup for Odegaard when required.
