Arsenal are reportedly in advanced talks to sign Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman from Atalanta this summer, as manager Mikel Arteta looks to inject more pace and creativity into his attacking options ahead of the new Premier League season.

⚡ Transfer Momentum Builds

Lookman, who is entering the final stretch of his contract at Atalanta, has attracted the Gunners’ attention following a standout season in Italy, despite a reported fallout with former manager Gian Piero Gasperini. According to AFTV, Arsenal have held discussions to bring the dynamic winger to the Emirates, with negotiations expected to accelerate in the coming weeks.

The 26-year-old Super Eagles forward made headlines last season with his explosive pace, dribbling flair, and clutch performances in European competitions — including a stunning hat-trick in the UEFA Europa League final that helped Atalanta secure continental glory.

🔁 Atalanta Move Swiftly to Replace Him

While Arsenal push for Lookman’s signature, Atalanta have already lined up a replacement, securing a deal for Kamaldeen Sulemana from Southampton for a fee around €21.5 million, including add-ons. Sulemana’s arrival makes it increasingly likely that Lookman will be allowed to leave.

🗣️ Opinion: A Smart Move for Arsenal?

Ademola Lookman is not just another winger — he’s a mature, proven attacker who can play across the frontline. His time in the Premier League with Leicester City and Everton may not have set the world alight, but his evolution in Serie A shows a player now comfortable in his identity and consistent under pressure.

For Arsenal, a team chasing both domestic and European glory, Lookman could add depth, experience, and unpredictability — something the Gunners lacked at crucial moments last season.

If Arteta seals this deal, he’s getting more than a squad player — he’s getting a clutch performer with Champions League experience and the hunger of an underdog.

🤔 What Fans Are Saying:

"Lookman on that left flank would cook with Saka and Ødegaard feeding him."
"This is the kind of underrated signing that ends up winning you games when it matters."
"Super Eagles flying high in the EPL soon!"
