The Nigerian international's future remains uncertain, but the former Everton player believes he wants to leave Atalanta for a fresh start amid interest from a number of major clubs around the world, including Premier League heavyweights Arsenal and Liverpool.

Great interest from English clubs other than Arsenal

Although the Gunners' interest has been clearly stated and widely reported in the official media, there are several other English clubs interested in signing the player, including Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur have also recently joined the race.

The race for Ademola Lookman's signature is intensifying, with Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa now joining Arsenal in pursuit of the Nigerian international. However, Serie A giants Inter Milan currently lead the chase for the in-demand forward, according to Sports Boom reports.

Since his 2022 move from RB Leipzig to Atalanta, the 27-year-old has transformed into one of Europe's most dangerous attackers. His remarkable 2023/24 campaign yielded 20 goals and 7 assists across 40 appearances, highlighted by a stunning Europa League final hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen. These exploits earned Lookman the prestigious 2024 African Footballer of the Year award and cemented his status as one of the continent's premier talents.

With multiple top clubs now vying for his services, the upcoming transfer window could see one of Europe's most hotly-contested battles for the prolific forward's signature.
