Tottenham Hotspur were heavily linked with a move for the Atalanta attacker Ademola Lookman during the summer transfer window, but a move did not materialise.
According to GMS, they are already making plans for the winter transfer window, but they are unlikely to make a fresh attempt to sign the Nigerian. They were keen on the versatile attacker this summer, but they ended up signing Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain.
Tottenham were keen on Ademola Lookman
Lookman has been linked with a return to the Premier League in recent seasons, and he was outstanding for Atalanta last year. The player registered 27 goal contributions in all competitions. There is no doubt that he would have been a very useful acquisition for Tottenham if they had managed to get the deal done.
He is capable of operating anywhere across the front tree. He knows the league well and could have made an instant impact. It will be interesting to see if he can make his mark in English football now. There is no doubt that the technically gifted French international has the quality to do well in the Premier League, but he has not been at his best for a while. He will look to get his career back on track with regular football in England.
Spurs could have used Lookman
Meanwhile, the Atalanta star has been linked with a move away from Italy in recent months, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
Tottenham could have used someone with his skill set, especially after the departure of Son Heung-min. The South Korean was a dynamic attacker like the Nigerian, and they will miss someone with his skill set.
They have done well to improve the attacking unit this summer, and it remains to be seen whether their new signings can hit the ground running.
