Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Aston Villa have been sounded over a late move for Ademola Lookman this summer.
Ademola Lookman has been linked with a move away from Atalanta this summer, but he has not been able to secure a transfer yet. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. There is no doubt that he is a quality player, and multiple Premier League clubs have been sounded out over a potential move, according to Graeme Bailey on TBR Football.
Arsenal could certainly use more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and Lookman would be a quality addition. He is capable of operating on the flanks as well as centrally. The Nigerian international registered 27 goal contributions last season, and he could improve Arsenal immensely.
The Gunners need an upgrade on Gabriel Martinelli, and the London-born attacker could prove to be the ideal acquisition. He could slot in on the left flank or lead the line for Arsenal if needed. His versatility would have been an added bonus.
Similarly, Chelsea need more depth in the attacking unit as well. They have been linked with multiple wide players, including Alejandro Garnacho. It will be interesting to see if they take up the opportunity to sign the Atalanta attacker this summer.
There is no doubt that Lookman has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League. He knows English football well from his time at Everton and Leicester City. He will be able to hit the ground and make an instant impact. The opportunity to join Chelsea will be quite exciting for him.
Spurs and Aston Villa handed the chance as well
Tottenham are currently suffering from an injury blow. James Maddison has been sidelined for several months, and Spurs need attacking depth in the squad. Lookman could prove to be a very useful acquisition for them. His ability to log into multiple attacking roles will be an added bonus. The 27-year-old is a reliable performer at this level, and he has shown his quality in Italy and in Europe.
Finally, Aston Villa have been sounded out over a late move for the attacker as well. The Villans need more quality in the final third if they want to push for UEFA Champions League qualification this season. The Nigerian international could prove to be the ideal acquisition for them. The player is at the peak of his career, and he could make an instant impact at the West Midlands club.
