By Olaolu Joseph

Super Eagles and Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman has become a prime target for top English Premier League clubs as his departure from the Italian Serie A looks imminent.

According to Fichajes, the reigning African Footballer of the Year, who is enjoying a successful career at Atalanta, has caught the attention of top clubs in the EPL.

With Atalanta’s board signaling their readiness to sell, interest has been pouring in from top European clubs, with EPL teams leading the race to secure his services.

Liverpool, Tottenham, and Chelsea are all in contention for the 27-year-old, with offers of around €45 million plus performance-related bonuses on the table.

Lookman has demonstrated exceptional speed, dribbling, and attacking versatility in both Serie A and European competitions, making him a highly sought-after talent among Europe’s elite clubs.

Liverpool urgently needs to revamp their attack, and Lookman is seen as a prime candidate to bolster their offensive lineup.

Tottenham, seeking more consistency and firepower after a challenging season, is also eyeing him to enhance their competitiveness in the Premier League.

Chelsea views the Nigerian as a crucial part of their rebuilding efforts. Despite the intense competition, Lookman’s representatives have made one thing clear: his ambition is to return to the Premier League.

With the three English clubs prioritizing him in the upcoming transfer market, Atalanta faces a key decision—whether to accept a lucrative €45 million offer plus bonuses or retain a player on the brink of an exciting new chapter in his career.
