Ademola Lookman is one of the highly sought-after forwards this season following his blistering performances with Atalanta, the latest club to show interest in him is English Premier League side Arsenal, Nigeriasoccernet.com gathered.
Having flourished under tactical genius Gian Piero Gasperini, the Nigerian international is thriving and could soon secure an even bigger move.
“Ademola Lookman had another excellent weekend for Atalanta in Italy, scoring twice in their impressive win against Napoli,” Watts revealed in his interview with CaughtOffside for his latest Daily Briefing column.
“He’s one of countless wingers who has been linked with Arsenal in the past and they did of course have a close-up view of him when they met Atalanta in the Champions League a little bit earlier in the season".
“The Lookman link is never one that I had confirmed. It always felt a bit like an agent-driven story to me, especially as there was lots of talk about PSG being interested as well and also fresh contract talks with Atalanta".
With Arsenal joining the chase, the EPL club will now have to battle it out with reigning European Champions, Real Madrid and Ligue 1 giants PSG.
