Arsenal make new approach for €50m Ademola Lookman as Atalanta forward targets Premier League return

Per Alfredo Pedulla, Lookman will be available this summer for a reported sum of €50 million (£43m/$59m) plus add-ons. The report adds that the winger is dreaming of a return to the Premier League and the Emirates Stadium could be his next destination. The Gunners, along with Liverpool had enquired about the player last summer but Atalanta rejected any bid for the star.

Lookman finished the 2024-25 season joint third in the Serie A Golden Boot race with 15 goals to his name. He played a key role in Atalanta finishing third on the league table and secure a place in the Champions League next season.

The prolific winger has gone from surplus to requirements at RB Leipzig to winning European titles with Atalanta. Now, top teams are eyeing his signature, but with two years left on his contract, he won't leave the Italian team on the cheap.

Other than Lookman, the north London club are also working behind the scenes to secure a transfer for one of Viktor Gyokeres or Benjamin Sesko. After losing out on the Premier League title for the third consecutive season, Mikel Arteta seems desperate to strengthen his attack.
