The Nigerian sensational winger, Ademola, is enthusiastic about a potential transfer to North London outlet, as the Gunners have resumed deliberation with Atalanta regarding a possible summer acquisition of the Nigerian winger.
Ademola Lookman, who is currently the reigning African Footballer of the Year, is eager to return to the Premier League after previous campaigns with the likes of Everton, Fulham, and, of course, Leicester City, and now Arsenal is emerging as the leading candidate for his signature.
Reports claimed that the North London Giants Arsenal has initiated negotiations with the Bergamo-based club concerning the possibility of bringing the Nigerian international winger to the Emirates Stadium, with the asking price estimated between £38-42 million.

However, Arsenal has made substantial contact with Lookman as they aim to resolve their persistent challenges in the attacking third, having opened discussions with the Atalanta star, as reported by AFTV.
Arsenal is anticipated to have a significant summer transfer window, urgently requiring reinforcements to bolster their pursuit of silverware in the upcoming season. While the Gunners have maintained one of the strongest defences in Europe over the last two seasons, conceding the fewest goals in the Premier League during that time, their offensive capabilities have been their weak point.
Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, and Leandro Trossard are competent players, yet they have demonstrated a lack of the quality necessary to elevate Arsenal to the next level. The club is particularly in need of a top striker and an elite left winger, positions that their rivals have filled with world-class talent.
Lookman has established himself as one of the premier wingers in Europe over the past two years, showcasing a combination of speed, skill, and precise finishing. The Nigerian international has been a key figure in Atalanta’s offence, contributing 52 goals and 25 assists in 118 appearances across all competitions since his arrival at the Italian club.
