Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman has been linked with a move to the Premier League ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Arsenal and Chelsea are keen on signing Ademola Lookman, and they have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of the Nigerian International. The London-born winger wants to join a London club in the summer, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Lookman has established himself as one of the best attackers in Italian football, and he has 25 goal contributions this season. He could prove to be an exceptional acquisition for Arsenal and Chelsea.
Arsenal are in desperate need of a versatile attacker like him who is capable of playing anywhere across the front three. He will add goals and creativity to the side. Meanwhile, Chelsea are keen on the player as well. The Blues have been overly dependent on Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson for goals and creativity in the final third. They need more depth in the attack, and Lookman would be a quality addition.
Lookman could make an immediate impact
Ademola Lookman knows the Premier League well, and he might be able to settle in quickly. He has played in the Premier League before with Everton, Fulham, and Leicester City. However, he never quite managed to showcase his true qualities with the Merseyside outfit. He might feel that he has unfinished business in the Premier League.
The Nigerian international will look to make his mark in English football with Arsenal or Chelsea if the move goes through in the summer. Both clubs will be attractive destinations for the player and it remains to be seen where he ends up. He will want to join a club capable of fighting for major trophies regularly.
Arsenal are probably better placed in that regard. The Gunners have been fighting for the league title in the last two seasons, and they are likely to finish in the top three this season as well. On the other hand, Chelsea are going through a period of rebuilding, and they might need some time before they can challenge for the title.
