**_Arsenal could reportedly hijack Inter Milan's pursuit of Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman._**
The 27-year-old has made it clear he wants to leave the Serie A side ahead of next season, having submitted a transfer request.
Inter Milan have emerged as the frontrunners to land the Nigeria international this summer, but could now face stiff competition for his signature.
According to Bergamo-based outlet **_[Corriere della Sera](https://bergamo.corriere.it/notizie/sport/atalanta/25_agosto_08/atalanta-con-lookman-i-conti-sulle-sanzioni-si-faranno-alla-fine-ma-prima-il-mercato-0011e221-9e1d-4ad6-b6e7-c1a2d485fxlk.shtml?refresh_ce)_**, Arsenal are considering a move for Lookman as they continue their search for a new left-winger.
The Gunners are understood to be weighing up a £44m offer for the Atalanta star, although it remains unclear whether formal talks have yet begun.
Real Madrid's Rodrygo and Newcastle's Anthony Gordon also remain on Arsenal's shortlist.
