Report – Inter Milan Name Atalanta Europa League Hero Top Priority To Reinforce Frontline | OneFootball

Inter Milan have set their sights on Atalanta talisman Ademola Lookman as the final piece of their attacking jigsaw.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nigerian has climbed to the top of the Nerazzurri shortlist.

Despite only recently adding Ange-Yoan Bonny to Cristian Chivu’s squad, Inter remain in the market for a new forward.

Indeed, the Italian giants are keen to offload Mehdi Taremi after a dreadful first season in Serie A.

However, they will not pursue another out-and-out striker.

Instead of chasing another classic center-forward, Chivu’s men are eager to sign a versatile attacker.

Lookman ticks all the boxes for the type of player Piero Ausilio and Beppe Marotta are looking to recruit.

Indeed, he can cover virtually every role in the final third.

Capable of playing on the wing, he’s also adept at a center-forward position.

Furthermore, he has a proven track record in Serie A.

Over the past three years, he has been Atalanta’s most consistent forward and one of the best in Italian football.
