Arsenal Remain Keen on Liverpool, PSG-Linked Star to Strengthen Attack, Report Says | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain have been linked to Atalanta standout Ademola Lookman to bolster their attack in these last days of the summer transfer window. However, Arsenal could be making a serious push for the 26-year-old to bolster their attack.

This week, journalist Alfredo Pedullà reported that Arsenal are ready to propose to Atalanta a €50 million plus Jakub Kiwior in exchange for Lookman. Meanwhile, Liverpool have also expressed interest in the forward, with the Serie A side setting a price tag of €65 million to €70 million.

Nonetheless, Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reports that Lookman has reached a verbal agreement with PSG and is keen to join the club immediately. Still, no deal has been made between the clubs which is the most essential part.

According to The Independent, Arsenal seems to have accepted that signing their top target, Nico Williams, might not happen. As a result, Arsenal is now looking at more affordable options this summer, similar to their approach with Leandro Trossard.

Per the report, one of those options could be Lookman, who is expected to leave Atalanta. Although the 26-year-old has reportedly agreed to terms with PSG, Arsenal remains interested.

Since joining Atalanta in 2022, Lookman has made a significant impact. Last season alone, the 26-year-old played in 45 matches, showcasing his impressive skills by scoring 17 goals and providing 10 assists.

His standout performance came in the UEFA Europa League final, where he delivered a memorable hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen.
