Newcastle is considering making a move for Atalanta's forward Ademola Lookman in the summer, joining a list of top growing suitors who are interested in the CAF player of the year, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
As per Pete O’Rourke via Football Insider, the Magpies view the 2-year-old Nigeria international as a perfect fit, with head coach Eddie Howe particularly interested in his qualities and personality.
Newcastle United is prioritizing attacking additions for the upcoming season, particularly given Callum Wilson's impending contract expiration. A right winger is their primary target, and Ademola Lookman, while primarily a left winger, offers valuable versatility.
His ability to switch flanks and operate as a center-forward makes him an attractive option for Eddie Howe, providing tactical flexibility and addressing multiple needs within the squad.
