Ademola Lookman has faced a chaotic last few months at Atalanta, and Tottenham are one of the club being linked with a rescue swoop.
Over the past year, the attacker has asked to leave La Dea twice, but he’s not got his desire. Former manager Ivan Juric publicly criticised Lookman some weeks ago. He also had an spat with him on the sidelines during a Champions League tie against Marseille.
The Croatian has now left Atalanta, with Raffaele Palladino coming in as the new manager.
Quotidiano Sportivo note Lookman has now added a reference to the Bergamo club on his Instagram account. He had removed any mention of the club during the summer when he was having his transfer tantrums.
There is uncertainty over whether this a sign of peace but Tottenham are monitoring the scenario. Spurs are looking to bring the Wandsworth born player back to London.
Napoli are expected to provide competition to Tottenham in January, with Galatasaray also interested. Lookman’s current contract at Atalanta runs out in 2027, so 2026 would be La Dea’s last chance of earning a good fee from a sale.
If peace hasn’t broken out, then a January move with an option or obligation to buy looks like a decent bet.
