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.
