Arsenal eye move for £51m rated star with stunning 27 G/A to summer shortlist

Arsenal are looking to sign a new winger ahead of the summer transfer window and have added Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman to their shortlist, according to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg.

The Gunners are looking to improve their attack after a mixed season from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard. Both players struggled for consistency this term.

Arsenal are expected to be active in the summer transfer window after a season marked by struggles in front of goal. Strengthening the attack is a top priority.

Several wide players have recently been linked with Arsenal, including Athletic Club’s Nico Williams.

Lookman would be an ideal fit for Arsenal

Lookman has had a standout season at Atalanta under Gian Piero Gasperini.

The Nigerian international has bagged 20 goals and seven assists in all competitions this season.

Lookman made headlines in the 2023/24 Europa League final by scoring a stunning hat-trick, helping Atalanta defeat Bayer Leverkusen to lift the trophy.

Lookman became the first player to score three goals in the final.

The 27-year-old is under contract with Atalanta until 2027. However, he is open to a move away from Bergamo.

Lookman’s pace, movement and finishing make him an ideal fit for Arsenal’s style of play.

He is currently the African Footballer of the Year, as his significance to the Nigerian national team has increased over the past year.

According to Transfermarkt, Lookman is valued at £51 million. That figure could tempt Arsenal to make an official move soon.

A transfer for Lookman would give Arsenal a proven goal threat. He would add experience and sharpness to their attack.
