Ademola Lookman is fast becoming one of the hottest names in European football and Premier League giants are taking notice.
Reports making the rounds suggest that Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Newcastle United are all eyeing a potential summer swoop for the in-form Nigerian winger. Lookman, currently lighting up Serie A with Atalanta, has turned heads with his consistency, flair, and ability to deliver in key moments.
At 27, Lookman is no stranger to English football. His previous stints with Fulham and Leicester City gave glimpses of his potential, but it’s in Italy that he’s truly found his rhythm. This season alone, he’s registered 25 goal contributions, 18 goals and seven assists—making him one of Atalanta’s standout stars and a key figure in their European push.
What’s changed? It’s not just the numbers. It’s the maturity in his game. Lookman has become more composed in front of goal, more dangerous on the ball, and more tactically disciplined, attributes that are now catching the attention of England’s biggest clubs.
Sources say that official talks could begin soon, as the Premier League clubs prepare their pitches to lure him back to England.
With his contract situation reportedly stable at Atalanta, it might take more than just interest to convince the Italian side to let him go.
Still, for clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United, both eager for more dynamism in their attack Lookman fits the bill. Liverpool, possibly anticipating changes in their front line, and Newcastle, building a team for sustained European competition, are also keen to secure his services.
Lookman’s next move is bound to be one of the more interesting storylines of the summer. Wherever he ends up, one thing’s clear: he’s no longer just a talent with potential, he’s now a player ready to lead from the front.
