Arsenal rekindle interest in Ademola Lookman
Arsenal are back in the race to sign Atalanta’s red-hot forward Ademola Lookman, with talks reportedly revived ahead of what could be a pivotal summer transfer.
According to Caught Offside, the Gunners are eyeing a deal worth around €45-50 million for the Nigeria international, who lit up the 2024/25 season with 27 goal contributions across all competitions. With tensions rising between Lookman and the Atalanta hierarchy, the 27-year-old appears primed for a move — and the Premier League could be calling again.
Arsenal’s Attack Needs Firepower
Mikel Arteta is determined to bolster his frontline, especially after a lacklustre campaign from Gabriel Martinelli. The Brazilian failed to deliver consistently, and Arsenal’s ambitions to win the Premier League and Champions League demand greater depth and quality in attack. Lookman, with his pace, flair, and growing pedigree in European football, could be the ideal addition.
The former Everton winger is no stranger to English football, but his stint in the Premier League didn’t quite reflect his full potential. After resurrecting his career in Serie A — including that unforgettable Europa League final hat-trick — Lookman might now be ready to shine back on English soil.
Liverpool Also in the Mix
Arsenal aren’t alone in their pursuit. Liverpool are also keeping close tabs on Lookman, especially with question marks surrounding the futures of Luis Diaz, Federico Chiesa, and Harvey Elliott. With attacking reinforcements needed at Anfield, the Reds see Lookman as a creative spark who can offer goals and versatility on either flank.
A Defining Decision for Lookman
At 27, this could be Lookman’s last big move. Both Arsenal and Liverpool represent elite-level opportunities — a chance to challenge for major honours and play in the Champions League. With a relatively modest price tag and proven quality, Lookman could be one of the smartest signings of the summer.
