Arsenal finally wants to rescue Serie A outcast

Arsenal are reportedly preparing a late move for Ademola Lookman as the Nigerian forward’s future at Atalanta grows increasingly uncertain. The attacker has been refusing to play for the Italian side this season after expressing his desire to leave, and his situation remains unresolved.

Lookman had been strongly linked with a move to Inter Milan earlier in the summer, but despite the club submitting a bid for his signature, Atalanta rejected the offer. Following the rejection, Inter decided against returning with an improved bid, leaving the player in limbo. His refusal to train or play under Atalanta’s new manager has added further tension, as he makes it clear that he does not wish to continue with the Bergamo side.

Arsenal’s Potential Interest

With Atalanta and Lookman still searching for a solution, Arsenal have now emerged as a possible destination. The Gunners remain active in the transfer market and continue to be linked with further signings despite an already significant level of investment in their squad. According to Caught Offside, the Gunners could make a late move to bring Lookman back to England, where he previously played for Everton, Fulham and Leicester City.

Lookman’s success in recent seasons, particularly in Serie A, has boosted his reputation as a dynamic attacker capable of influencing games from the flanks. However, the question remains as to whether Arsenal truly need him at this stage. The squad is already well-stocked with wide players, especially on the left wing, and Arteta may prefer to prioritise reinforcements in other areas of the pitch.

A Transfer That Raises Questions

Should Arsenal proceed with a formal offer, the deal would inevitably raise questions about squad balance and long-term planning. Lookman’s arrival would add competition to an already crowded position, potentially limiting opportunities for established players and academy prospects alike. While his quality is unquestioned, the signing may be viewed as unnecessary given the options already available to Arteta.

Ultimately, Lookman’s future depends on whether Atalanta is willing to sanction his departure and whether Arsenal view him as a genuine fit for their current squad needs. The coming days will determine whether this late transfer speculation translates into decisive action.
