Arsenal are reportedly on the verge of securing Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman from Atalanta in a major £42.5 million swap deal.
According to Sportitalia, the Gunners have offered €50 million (around £42.5 million) and are willing to include defender Jakub Kiwior as part of the transaction. Including Kiwior in the deal could potentially lower the transfer fee.
The Polish defender, who was absent from Mikel Arteta’s squad for Arsenal’s season-opening victory over Wolves, is expected to depart North London soon, regardless of whether he joins Atalanta.
Lookman has drawn significant interest following his outstanding performance in the Europa League final, where he netted a hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen.
The 26-year-old winger has also attracted attention from PSG and several Saudi Pro League clubs this summer.
Reflecting on his recent success, Lookman said after the Europa League final, “Over the past few years, I’ve been able to elevate my game on a more consistent basis. Maybe it could have happened earlier, but I’m pleased with the progress I’ve made now.
This is just the beginning, and I’m aiming for more nights like this, to keep improving. That’s the key.”
