Ademola Lookman may leave Serie A club Atalanta in the winter transfer window after his public bust-up with Ivan Juric this week.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Ademola Lookman is the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur. The Lilywhites are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a versatile attacker in the winter transfer window. So, the 28-year-old Atalanta forward has emerged as a target for the North London club.
Fabio Paratici is driving Tottenham’s move for the London-born attacker, and a winter move may be on the cards after a recent controversy. Lookman had a public bust-up with Ivan Juric after the Atalanta manager subbed him off in the UEFA Champions League clash with Marseille. So, that may lead to a January move for the former Premier League attacker.
Ademola Lookman and his situation
Ademola Lookman has established himself as one of the most underrated attackers in Serie A since joining Atalanta from RB Leipzig in August 2022. The 28-year-old could not make it count at Everton and RB Leipzig, while loan spells with Fulham and Leicester City did not work out. However, he has come leaps and bounds in the last three years, becoming a pivotal figure for La Dea.
However, the Nigerian international has been slow off the blocks in the 2025/26 season, managing only one goal in nine appearances thus far. The latest blow came when Lookman had a public spat with Ivan Juric after his substitution in the UEFA Champions League clash with Marseille. The situation has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur.
London return on the horizon?
Ademola Lookman has been on Tottenham Hotspur’s radar for a long time. The continued interest makes sense, as the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League winners are eager to bolster their offensive unit heading into the winter transfer window, having failed to replace Son Heung-min this past summer. Additionally, Richarlison faces an uncertain future at Tottenham.
Several candidates, including Ruben Vargas, have emerged on Tottenham’s radar, with Lookman also a viable target. The latest update has boosted the North London club’s prospects, as Atalanta may part ways with the London-born attacker in the winter transfer window.
While recent reports have suggested that Tottenham may not launch another bid to sign Lookman, he remains on Fabio Paratici’s wishlist. So, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the 24-year-old Nigerian international.
