Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Ademola Lookman from Atalanta in January.
The 28-year-old has been linked with an exit from the Italian club in recent months, and the North London club continues to monitor him. According to a report from Quotidiano Sportivo, they are ‘waiting’ to sign the player and bring him back to London.
Other clubs are keeping tabs on his situation as well, and the North London club should move quickly in order to get the deal done.
Spurs need Ademola Lookman
It is no secret that they need more quality on the flanks. The Nigerian will add goals and creativity to the side. He has played in the Premier League before, and he could settle in quickly. The opportunity to move back to London could be an exciting one for him. Lookman scored 20 goals last season, and picked up seven assists.
Lookman could be keen on Premier League return
Lookman is capable of operating anywhere across the front three, and he could be the ideal acquisition for Tottenham. The player is at the peak of his powers, and he could be open to taking on a new challenge. He has previously failed to make his mark in English football, and he will feel that he has unfinished business in the Premier League.
Lookman has been labelled as a “top player” by Gian Piero Gasperini in the past.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can agree on a reasonable deal to sign the player.
Tottenham need to improve their squad in January if they want to do well this season. After an impressive start to the season, they have struggled in recent weeks. They are currently ninth in the league table, and a club of their stature should be pushing for a place in the top four.
