Sky Sport DE reports that Arsenal are among the clubs interested in Atalanta star Ademola Lookman due to his versatility.

According to Sky Sport DE reporter Florian Plettenberg, Arsenal have joined other European clubs, including Juventus, in the race to sign Atalanta star Lookman.

According to the report, Arsenal’s talks with agents and clubs are in full swing, and Real Madrid ace Rodrygo remains their primary target to strengthen the attack.

However, Lookman is also a topic, mainly due to his versatility.

Why Arsenal are interested in Lookman

Plettenberg reports that Atalanta director Berta ‘is holding numerous talks’ before the official start of the summer transfer window on July 1.

Italian sources already reported earlier this week that Atalanta would be listening to offers above €40m for Lookman this summer.

The Nigeria international could make his final appearance for La Dea on Sunday, when the Nerazzurri host strugglers Parma at the Gewiss Stadium.

Lookman has scored 20 goals and provided seven assists in 39 games across all competitions this season.

Lookman, 27, has also been linked with a move to Juventus, but the Bianconeri have many other transfer targets in attack, including Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres, Lorenzo Lucca, Mateo Retegui and Rasmus Hojlund.
