Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman, who is currently shining in Atalanta, has become a hot product in the transfer market and is gaining interest from top European clubs.
Lookman has enjoyed an incredible season at Atalanta, scoring 18 goals and offering seven assists in all competitions.
His performance was not noticed, and Arsenal added him to their contenders as they aimed to bolster their offense.
According to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Gunners have now added Lookman to their transfer targets.
The journalist says the Atalanta star is looking to take the next step in his career, which is why he can consider moving from Serie A to the Premier League
The gunners will be joined by Manchester United and Juventus to sign the Nigerian attackers.
Lookman helped Atalanta win the Europa League last season, which increased his demand in the market.
With his contract expected to expire in 2027, Atalanta is expected to request a high transfer fee from him.
The rise of Lookman was amazing, but once a lender for Fulham, he now thrives in Serie A and marks him on the European stage.
