Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Ademola Lookman

Football never ceases to surprise with unexpected twists and rumours that surface during every summer transfer window. Clubs are looking to strengthen their squads with players capable of making a difference, and the Premier League continues to look beyond its borders.

This summer, sporting directors are closely scrutinising profiles that can offer unpredictability, paceand goals. Ademola Lookman has become one of those names that are in the headlines. His performance with Atalanta has been brilliant, and his desire to return to England adds even more spice to the matter. Tottenham fans are watching every clue closely.

According to Fichajes, Spurs are closely monitoring Lookman’s situation with the idea of bringing him back to the Premier League. The Nigerian winger already knows what it’s like to play in England, having spent time at Everton, Fulham and Leicester. His last season with Atalanta makes him an interesting prospect.

The London team need to strengthen their attack after failing to sign other options such as Kudus, Mbeumo and Semenyo. None of them have arrived, and each one comes at a high cost. Lookman, on the other hand, could leave for a more reasonable fee. Atalanta are willing to sell, and the player is keen on a change of scenery.

That said, there are compelling reasons to believe that Lookman would fit in perfectly with Thomas Frank’s new project. First, his versatility allows him to play on both wings and even inside if the system requires it. Frank’s style prioritises high pressing, quick transitions and tactical intelligence. Lookman brings dribbling, acceleration and a nose for goal. With 27 goal contributions last season, his offensive impact is well proven.

In a 4-3-3 formation, he could occupy the left wing to take advantage of his right foot and look for diagonal runs into the box. He would also adapt to a second striker role if more flexible variations are chosen. The key will be the 27-year-old’s tactical discipline to meet the defensive demands that Frank asks of his wingers. Tottenham have to move quickly because other clubs may tempt the player.

If they close the deal, they will add an attacker hungry for revenge in the Premier League. Lookman is in his prime, has experience and a price tag that fits the club’s reality. Seeing him run down the wing at White Hart Lane, more than one person will imagine European nights with goals and celebrations. For Spurs, this could be the spark they need to get back among the big boys.
