Arsenal are looking to improve their attacking unit by signing of Ademola Lookman from Serie A club Atalanta in the summer transfer window.
According to a report from Caught Offside, Arsenal have revived talks to sign Ademola Lookman, who had 27 goal contributions in the 2024/25 season. The Atalanta attacker will cost around €45-50 million, and he is expected to leave the Serie A club this summer after falling out with the club hierarchy.
The London-born attacker is on the radar of Liverpool as well, and it remains to be seen whether Arsenal can get the deal done. The Gunners are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be quite exciting for the player.
Lookman will look to prove himself in the Premier League. The 27-year-old has played in England before with Everton, but he never quite managed to showcase his true qualities. Arsenal could provide him with the platform to fight for the league title and the UEFA Champions League.
The Gunners need an upgrade on Gabriel Martinelli if they want to win major trophies next season. The Brazilian was quite underwhelming last season. Lookman has shown that he is capable of competing at the highest level, and he has proven himself in Italy and in European competitions. He knows the league well and could make an instant impact next term.
Liverpool keen on Lookman
Similarly, Liverpool need attacking depth and have their sights set on Ademola Lookman. Federico Chiesa could be sold in the summer. Harvey Elliott has been linked with a move as well. On the other hand, Luis Diaz continues to be linked with a move to Barcelona.
So, Liverpool need a dynamic attacker like Lookman who will add goals and creativity to the side. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can get the deal across the line. The reported €45-50 million asking price is affordable for both clubs, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Liverpool and Arsenal are among the biggest clubs in the world, and both clubs have been fighting for trophies consistently. Any player will be attracted to the idea of joining them. Lookman is at the peak of his career, and this could be his final opportunity to join an elite club. He will certainly hope that the move goes through.
