Ademola Lookman was expected to leave Atalanta this summer.
The club most seriously interested in him was Inter. However, despite submitting several official offers, they failed to meet Atalanta’s demands, and the transfer fell through.
Now, Tottenham have entered the race. The English club, looking to strengthen their attacking options, initially set their sights on signing Savinho from Manchester City.
However, City decided not to sell the young star this summer. As a result, Tottenham have turned their attention to Lookman and are pushing to complete the deal before the transfer window closes.
Lookman himself is eager to leave Atalanta. The Nigerian forward, who was named Africa’s best player this year, could raise his level even further in the Premier League.
Already a player who can directly contribute both goals and creativity, Lookman would be a valuable addition for Tottenham.
