Arsenal “prepares” a £42 million bid while Liverpool “watches” Ademola Lookman transfer developments

Ademola Lookman, a winger for Atalanta, is apparently attracting interest from Liverpool. The only Premier League team without a summer addition is the Reds. Lookman, who made an impression for Atalanta the previous season, has been connected to the Reds.

The 26-year-old really made 45 appearances in all competitions, scoring 17 goals and dishing out 10 assists. This included defeating Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final in May and scoring a hat-trick.

Journalist Alfredo Pedulla reports that Liverpool is “in background” monitoring developments and that the Reds are interested in signing Lookman this month. The same source, however, asserts that Arsenal is leading the race to capture Lookman, with the Gunners planning a £42.6 million bid in addition to the potential to use out-of-favor defender Jakub Kiwior in any move. A loan-to-buy agreement is purportedly another choice.

Lookman is valued by Atlanta between £55 and £60 million, and they do not want to lose such a valuable player before the transfer window closes. But Lookman, who was left out of their Serie A opener against Lecce on Monday at his own request, is eager to leave the Bergamo club. In an effort to pressure the club into letting him leave, he reportedly declined to take part in practice on Wednesday as well, according to Sportitalia.

Lookman possesses a wealth of Premier League experience. The 26-year-old, who made his Premier League debut with Everton, last played in the top division with Leicester during a fruitful loan period in the 2021–2022 campaign. Lookman also scored in a 1-0 victory for the Foxes against Liverpool during that campaign.
