English Premier League clubs have been handed a significant boost in the race to sign Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reports circulating in the media space suggest that the 2024-25 Serie A league contenders, Atalanta BC, are more willing to sell the Nigeria international to an overseas club rather than league rivals.<\/p>\n

Lookman has been one of Atalanta\u2019s most influential players since joining from RB Leipzig in 2022. His performances, including a hat-trick in last season\u2019s Europa League final, have put him on the radar of several top European clubs.<\/p>\n

Soccernet.ng<\/strong> earlier reported that Juventus and Inter Milan have shown interest in signing the Nigerian international, but recent reports indicate that the Bergamo-based club would prefer to negotiate with clubs outside Italy.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, this gives Premier League teams a crucial advantage<\/a>, with Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur among the sides monitoring the 26-year-old forward.<\/p>\n

Lookman is no stranger to English football, having previously played for Everton, Leicester City, and Fulham. A return to the Premier League could be an attractive prospect, particularly as Atalanta\u2019s preference for an overseas sale increases his chances of securing a move back to England.<\/p>\n

However, the competition is not limited to England, as Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with a potential move for the Nigerian star.<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles attacker found himself at the center of criticism following a missed penalty during Atalanta\u2019s UEFA Champions League clash against Club Brugge. This has further sparked speculations over his exit from the club.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
