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.

South Africa’s women’s national team coach, Desiree Ellis, has confidently stated that her team is ready to take down Nigeria once again as both sides gear up for their semi-final clash in the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. The much-anticipated match between Banyana Banyana and the Super Falcons is scheduled for Tuesday, with high stakes as a spot in the final is up for grabs.

Despite Nigeria’s stronger overall record in past meetings, South Africa won their last WAFCON encounter in 2022, edging the Super Falcons 1-0 in Morocco. That result, Ellis believes, gives her team the belief and strategy needed to win again.

Speaking ahead of the clash, Ellis said they understand what it takes to defeat Nigeria and are fully prepared for the challenge. She added that her players know the weight of this fixture and are determined to come out on top.

Turkish football pundit Hakan Gündoğar revealed that the Nigerian forward will be arriving on Tuesday and is expected to be welcomed in grand fashion by the Galatasaray faithful, with fans planning one of the most memorable receptions in the club’s history.

Galatasaray and Napoli have reportedly finalized all financial details, including bank guarantees and a two-part payment plan for the striker’s permanent move. The Turkish champions will cover Osimhen’s €75 million release clause in two instalments, €40 million upfront and €35 million within the next year.

Osimhen had spent last season on loan at Galatasaray and made the decision to remain in Turkey, turning down massive offers from Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal in the process. His return is seen as a major boost for Galatasaray ahead of the new campaign.
