Tottenham Hotspur are now trying to complete a late deal for Ademola Lookman, who has greenlit a switch to North London before Monday’s transfer deadline.
It emerged last week Spurs had turned their attention to Ademola Lookman, who is looking for an exit route from Atalanta late in the transfer window.
Subsequently, sources confirmed a few days ago that Tottenham had made contact with Lookman’s camp over a switch to N17.
The same update revealed that the 27-year-old has emerged as a ‘prime target’ for the Lilywhites, with Thomas Frank seeing him as a good fit for his system.
Ademola Lookman is ready to fly to London to complete Tottenham move
TBR Football have now confirmed that Spurs are currently locked in talks over a late deal for the Atalanta winger, who has now allegedly become the North London club’s priority target.
Interestingly, the report says that after seeing his switch to Inter Milan collapse, Lookman is keen on completing a switch to Spurs.
The former Everton man wants to leave Bergamo before the transfer deadline, and a switch to Tottenham appeals to him.

The outlet also spoke to transfer market expert Graeme Bailey, who feels that a deadline day deal for Lookman is very much on the cards for Spurs, with all parties willing to complete the transfer.
