Arsenal have become the latest club to express interest in signing Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Gunners now join a growing list of top European clubs—including Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Liverpool, and Manchester United who are keen on securing the services of the Atalanta winger.
Lookman is expected to bring his successful stint at Atalanta to a close at the end of the season. Since arriving from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig on a permanent deal, he has enjoyed three prolific seasons in Serie A, scoring at least 15 goals each campaign.
According to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, Arsenal have added the Nigeria international to their summer shortlist.

“Arsenal have added Ademola Lookman to their shortlist for the summer. More teams are keen on him. The plan hasn’t changed: Lookman is planning to take the next step this summer. Premier League is possible,” Plettenberg posted on X.
The 27-year-old, who is under contract with Atalanta until 2027, has delivered a standout performance this season, tallying 20 goals and seven assists across all competitions. He has featured in 37 matches and was instrumental in Atalanta’s early push for a historic Scudetto title before their form dipped.
Earlier, Lookman had reportedly agreed to join Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2024, but the deal collapsed, prompting his return to Atalanta. His relationship with manager Gian Piero Gasperini has since come under scrutiny, especially following a reported spat during their UEFA Champions League exit at the hands of Belgian side Club Brugge.
With multiple European heavyweights monitoring his situation, a summer move looks increasingly likely. A return to the Premier League is particularly on the cards for the Nigerian international, who previously played for Everton, Fulham, and Leicester City.
