Arsenal Eye Lookman as PSG Deal Stalls
Arsenal have gained an advantage in their pursuit of Ademola Lookman as PSG hesitates to meet Atalanta’s asking price, according to Sky’s transfer expert Florian Plettenberg.
Despite Lookman’s strong desire to join PSG, the deal is stalled due to the clubs’ failure to agree on a transfer fee, opening the door for other suitors, including Arsenal. Lookman has been omitted from Atalanta’s squad for the second consecutive game, fueling speculation about his future.
Arsenal are closely monitoring the situation and may attempt a late bid for the forward, who is valued at around £51 million. Lookman, who joined Atalanta from RB Leipzig in 2022, has impressed with 24 goals in 62 matches and previously shone during loan spells at Fulham and Leicester City. His representation by the same agency as Arsenal’s Kai Havertz might further influence his potential move to the Premier League.
Al-Nassr coach Stefano Pioli has revealed why captain Cristiano Ronaldo missed their Saudi Pro League match against Al-Taawoun on Friday. Ronaldo was sidelined due to a cold as Al-Nassr settled for a 1-1 draw at home. Otávio and R. Martínez scored to earn a point for both teams at Al-Awwal Park.
After the game, Pioli explained that Ronaldo’s absence was health-related. Al-Nassr currently sit fourth in the league with 64 points from 32 matches, having already missed out on the title after Al-Ittihad were crowned champions. Their next fixture is against Al-Khaleej on Wednesday.
Atalanta’s star winger Ademola Lookman has been nominated for the Serie A Player of the Month award for May. He’s up against five other top players including Riccardo Orsoloni from Bologna, Juventus’ Khenphren Thuram, Napoli’s Scott McTominay, AS Roma’s Manu Kone, and AC Milan’s Santiago Gimenez.
Lookman broke his six-game scoring drought by finding the net in Atalanta’s 2-1 victory over AS Roma on Monday. This season, the 27-year-old has made a huge impact with 15 goals and five assists in 30 league games.
Ademola Lookman has once again earned a spot in the Serie A Team of the Season, marking his second time in a row making the prestigious list. The 27-year-old was a key figure for Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta side throughout the 2024/25 season, putting in several standout performances.
He racked up an impressive 20 goal contributions, netting 15 goals and providing five assists in 30 league matches. His teammate, Mateo Retegui, also made the cut. With transfer talks heating up, the exciting winger is expected to part ways with Atalanta when the season wraps up.
