English Premier League side, Arsenal are reportedly planning a £25 million move for Nigeria international, Ademola Lookman, who has been in scintillating form for Italian side, Atalanta this season.
The Gunners are looking to bolster their attacking options, with Gabriel Martinelli’s underwhelming performances this season prompting the North London club to seek reinforcements on the left wing.
Lookman, who has scored 10 goals with five assists this season, has attracted interest from other Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle United.
