Italian Journalist Names Gunners as Club to Watch Amidst Atalanta Star’s Exit Push
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has identified Arsenal as a potential destination for Ademola Lookman in the closing days of the summer window, revealing the Gunners could swoop if they offload Leandro Trossard first.
The Nigerian forward’s proposed move to Inter Milan has collapsed, according to Romano’s latest YouTube update, leaving the Premier League as his most likely escape route from an increasingly toxic situation at Atalanta.
Romano’s Bombshell: Arsenal in the Frame
“Keep an eye on Arsenal in these final two weeks,” Romano stated, explaining that while the North London club have already invested heavily in attack this summer, Lookman could become an option if squad space opens up.
The 26-year-old winger has been on strike since Atalanta rejected Inter’s €42m bid, deleting all club references from his social media and relocating to London as he awaits a resolution. His dramatic falling out with the Serie A side has put Europe’s top clubs on alert.
The Trossard Factor
Romano emphasized that any Arsenal move would likely depend on outgoing business, with Trossard’s potential departure creating room for Lookman’s arrival. The Belgian forward has been linked with several clubs across Europe as Mikel Arteta looks to refine his attacking options.
While Arsenal have been long-term admirers of Lookman – making an approach in 2024 – the club’s hierarchy must weigh up whether to meet Atalanta’s €50m asking price for a player who:
- Scored a Europa League final hat-trick (2024)
- Won African Footballer of the Year
- Finished 14th in Ballon d’Or voting
Clock Ticking on Stalemate
With the transfer window entering its decisive phase, Lookman’s future remains in limbo. Atalanta remain firm on their valuation but prefer selling abroad after the Inter deal collapsed.
As Romano put it: “This is one to watch until deadline day.” For Arsenal fans dreaming of another statement signing, the coming days could bring fireworks – or frustration.
