Lookman Will Leave Atalanta This Summer But Arsenal Won’t Sign Him
Transfer insider Matteo Moretto has revealed that Nigerian star Ademola Lookman is unlikely to join Arsenal this summer, despite rumours linking him with a move to the Premier League giants. Moretto explained that Arsenal follows a specific recruitment strategy, especially when it comes to a player’s age and profile, and Lookman doesn’t seem to fit into that plan.
While the former Everton winger has reportedly been offered to several European clubs, including Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, the strongest interest is currently coming from Serie A sides Juventus and Napoli. Lookman is expected to leave Atalanta soon after an outstanding season where he helped the club win the UEFA Europa League. He was the standout player in the final, scoring a memorable hat-trick in their 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.
According to Moretto, speaking on Fabrizio Romano’s channel, Lookman is “99.9%” set to leave Atalanta, but Arsenal is not likely to be his next destination. Instead, Juventus and Napoli are currently leading the race for his signature as he looks ahead to Champions League football next season.
Nigerian footballer, Ademola Lookman speaks on Nigeria’s Bronze from the Afcon game.
It can be recalled that the country won the medal after their victory against Egypt.
Lookman stated during an interview “Everyone wanted to win the gold medal. We came for the trophy, but it didn’t happen.”
“We leave the tournament with the bronze medal, and that is enough.”
Moroccan player Brahim Díaz speaks after his missed penalty that resulted in the country’s defeat to Senegal.
The player expressed how sad he was about the missed penalty and blames himself. “My soul hurts. I dreamed of this title because of all the love you guys have given me, every message and every act of support that made me feel like I wasn’t alone.”
“I gave my all, with my heart leading the way. I messed up yesterday, and I’m fully responsible for it. I’m really sorry for what happened.”
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
