Arsenal have reportedly opened discussions with the agent of Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman as they step up efforts to strengthen their attack in the summer transfer window.
According to Sky Sport Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, the Gunners are actively scouting options for wide attackers, with Ademola Lookman emerging as a serious candidate due to his excellent form and versatility.

“Arsenal are currently very active in the market, especially when it comes to wingers. Ademola Lookman is also still a topic, due to his versatility,” Plettenberg noted.
He added that Atalanta’s sporting director, Andrea Berta, is engaged in several talks ahead of the official window opening on July 1. “Andrea Berta is holding numerous talks,” he confirmed.
Arsenal now join a growing list of European clubs, including Juventus, monitoring the Nigerian international. Italian sources indicate that Atalanta would consider offers above €40 million for Lookman.
The 27-year-old Nigerian wiger has enjoyed a standout campaign for La Dea, scoring 20 goals and providing seven assists in 39 appearances across all competitions.
He is expected to make his final appearance of the season when Atalanta host Parma at the Gewiss Stadium on Sunday.
