Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has hinted that Arsenal could look at a possible move for a Serie A forward.
Arsenal monitoring Serie A attacker
Arsenal have been busy, adding some new faces to the squad this summer. The club wants to improve the squad depth after three consecutive near misses in the title race. Mikel Arteta’s squad is looking stronger than ever heading into the season.
Now, reports suggest the Gunners are still weighing up the idea of one more attacking option on the left flank. This is where **Ademola Lookman**’s name has surfaced. Fabrizio Romano revealed that Arsenal are paying attention to the Atalanta forward’s situation.
The Nigerian international has been a standout in Serie A. But, he is currently unsettled after clashing with club and even filing a transfer request.
🚨‼️ In recent weeks, Arsenal have been the only foreign club to continue inquiring about Lookman, though never with any formal steps.

Lookman’s future up in the air
Inter Milan were once leading the chase but walked away after talks broke down over the fee. Atalanta appear more open to selling abroad rather than to a domestic rival. That leaves PL sides monitoring movements closely. Lookman, praised by BBC’s John Bennett as ‘world class‘ still wants an exit. That opens the door for Arsenal to at least consider him before the window shuts.
However, **Leandro Trossard**’s new deal at the Emirates has changed the picture slightly. His improved terms show Arteta’s faith in the Belgian. That means the Gunners may decide their attacking options are already strong enough. Still, with two weeks left before deadline day, Romano’s hint tells that this story will be one to follow.
Author’s Opinion
Arsenal will likely try to make a deal for Lookman late in the transfer window. If the move goes through, it would add a little something extra out wide. But, they already have Trossard and others in place. So, it seems more like a wait-and-see move.
