Arsenal Join Race for Promising Nigerian Player

Arsenal Target Ademola Lookman as Trossard Exit Looms

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman from Atalanta, according to Soccernet.ng. Lookman has emerged as a star in 2024, leading Atalanta to Europa League victory and topping Serie A’s goal contribution charts.

His impressive form has attracted major clubs, with Paris Saint-Germain nearly securing his signature in the summer. While Lookman initially agreed to a move, it fell through, leaving him at Atalanta where he’s continued to shine.

With Arsenal potentially losing winger Leandro Trossard in January and Gabriel Martinelli’s form dipping, Lookman is seen as a perfect fit for the left wing position in Mikel Arteta’s system.

Lookman’s eight goals and five assists in just 13 games this season further solidify his appeal. The 27-year-old could be on the move again at the end of the season, and Arsenal are ready to pounce.
