Arsenal's pursuit of Ademola Lookman may have hit an unexpected obstacle in the closing stages of the transfer window. The Nigerian winger, who has emerged as one of Atalanta's most dangerous attacking threats in Serie A, appears destined for a summer exit from Bergamo.

While Mikel Arteta has already strengthened his squad with half a dozen new arrivals, the Arsenal manager continues to explore additional reinforcements before the transfer deadline.

Lookman's name has consistently surfaced as a potential target, with the 25-year-old's versatility and goal threat making him an attractive option for the North London club. However, recent developments suggest the proposed move could face complications, potentially forcing Arsenal to consider alternative options in their search for attacking depth.

A special financial offer from Arsenal

Arsenal face stiff competition in their pursuit of Ademola Lookman, with reports suggesting the Nigerian winger may snub their advances in favor of Inter Milan. Italian outlet Corriere di Bergamo claims the Gunners are preparing a €51 million bid for the Atalanta attacker, but the former Everton man appears to be holding out for a move to the San Siro instead.

Despite already completing six major signings this summer - including Noni Madueke, Christian Norgaard, and Viktor Gyokeres - Arsenal remain in the market for attacking reinforcements. The North London club have been persistently linked with both Real Madrid's Rodrygo and Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze as alternative options to bolster their wide positions.

With the transfer deadline approaching, Lookman's future remains uncertain. While Arsenal maintain interest, the 27-year-old's apparent preference for Inter Milan could force the Premier League side to shift their focus to other targets in their quest to strengthen the flanks. The coming days will reveal whether the Gunners intensify their pursuit or turn their attention elsewhere in the market.
