Football News Update: Premier League Clubs Interested in Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman
In a significant development in the world of football, reports from Italy suggest that several Premier League giants, including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea, have expressed interest in signing former Everton winger Ademola Lookman.
Lookman, who currently plays for Italian side Atalanta, has been in impressive form over the past couple of seasons, scoring 32 goals in 77 appearances for the Serie A club. The 26-year-old Nigerian international’s standout performance came in the Europa League final in May, where he scored a stunning hat-trick to help Atalanta clinch their first-ever European trophy with a 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.
Lookman’s impressive displays have caught the attention of the Premier League’s elite, with Italian website Calciomercato reporting that the interested clubs are “willing to make an offer close to €60m (£51m)” for the player.
However, Atalanta are determined to retain Lookman’s services, especially if they end up selling midfielder Teun Koopmeiners, who is recovering from an injury that saw him miss the recent European Championship.
Former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch was full of praise for Lookman’s Europa League final performance, calling it an “inspiration” for players who have had a mixed start to their careers. Crouch highlighted Lookman’s ability to bounce back from setbacks and thrive in a new environment, making him a valuable asset for any team.
As the transfer window heats up, football fans will be eagerly waiting to see if any of the Premier League’s top clubs can secure the signing of the highly-rated Atalanta winger, Ademola Lookman.
