Abuja, Nigeria – Arsenal don enter serious talks with Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman as dem wan bolster their attacking line for the next season. According to PUNCH Sports Extra, dem don make contact with the Atalanta winger, wey dey shine for Italy since him join dem. Na this summer transfer window dem dey plan for serious action, as Arsenal dey struggle for goals despite having solid defense.
Arsenal fit boast about their defenders wey dey keep clean sheets, but their forward line? Hmmm, na wah! (Sincerely, e be like say dem need sharp upgrade.) Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, and Leandro Trossard dey try their best, but the truth be say dem no dey fit carry Arsenal for true competition. Dem dey miss top striker and sharp left winger, something wey competitors don already fill with better players.
Lookman, wey na 26 years old, don prove say e get what e takes to be among top wingers for Europe. Since him join Atalanta, e don gather 52 goals and 25 assists for 118 matches. Na him shine when e score hat-trick for Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen in May 2024, wey help Atalanta collect their first European title. E still dey hold the record for the only player wey don score hat-trick for Europa League final. Guy don serious!
Now, Lookman dey ready to bounce from Bergamo as Atalanta dey plan to collect serious cash before his contract expire next year. Dem don slap €60 million price tag for him, but the way wey Arsenal dey struggle, dem fit just collect him anytime dem ready.
But no be only Arsenal dey find Lookman; Juventus, Napoli, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Barcelona dey eye am too. (E be like say na football market craze be this!) However, Lookman fit prefer to land for England, where e don get padi and family wey dey support am. Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, dey flex muscles as he dey negotiate with Atalanta for Lookman, but dem don offer €50 million which no reach Atalanta request. Na how dem go match the price matter go show.
Atalanta dey ready to replace Lookman with Ghanaian winger, Kamaldeen Sulemana, wey dey come from Southampton at around €21.5 million. So, e be like say dem fit just adjust for Lookman transfer, but Arsenal need quick action to avoid losing potential gold digger like Lookman.
