English football club, Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly intensifying negotiations to sign Atalanta’s star forward Ademola Lookman as the summer transfer window approaches its September 1 deadline.
It was gathered that Lookman, a 27-year-old Nigerian international, has reportedly caught the eye of Tottenham.
Lookman is also reportedly eager to return to the Premier League as Tottenham are said to be the frontrunners in the race for his signature.
According to reports, Manager Thomas Frank is reportedly viewing Lookman as a strong addition to his system and has approved efforts to bring him to north London.
The New Diplomat reports that Lookman’s stock skyrocketed after his hat-trick in Atalanta’s 2024 Europa League final victory over Bayer Leverkusen, contributing to 20 goals and seven assists across 40 appearances last season.
Atalanta, Lookman’s current club, has also reportedly placed a £48 million price tag on him for potential clubs.
