Super Eagles and departing Leicester city Winger, Ademola Lookman is set to finalize paper works and have his medicals ahead f a £12.5m move to Atalanta
The 24-year-old joined Leipzig in 2019 but has spent the last two seasons on loan at Premier League sides Fulham and Leicester City.
And Sky Sport Italia claims he is now set for a permanent move, arriving in Bergamo on Tuesday for tests, before a deal is completed.
Lookman began his career at Charlton Athletic and was a key part of the England U-20 team that won the World Cup in 2017, scoring three goals en route to the final – including in the last-16 and semi-finals.
He earned himself a big move to Everton but failed to make much of an impact before being loaned to Leipzig, before joining the Germans permanently.
The winger enjoyed a good season last term, contributing eight goals and five assists in 42 appearances for the Foxes.
Lookman made his debut for Nigeria against Ghana as a 74th-minute replacement for Moses Simon in a 2022 World Cup play-off in Kumasi last March. He has scored once in three appearances for the three-time African champions.
Meanwhile, Atalanta is also trying to conclude with Inter for striker Andrea Pinamonti, the 23-year-old striker back from a good season with Empoli with negotiations still ongoing for a fee.
Josip Ilicic, who is interested in Bologna, is also set to leave, although at the moment there are no concrete offers for the Slovenian striker.
