Chelsea is reportedly making a move to sign Ademola Lookman, a Serie A star with Premier League experience, to bolster their attacking options this summer. According to Calciomercato, the Blues are willing to make an offer close to Atalanta’s €60 million (£51 million) asking price for the 26-year-old winger. Lookman has impressed in Italy, scoring 17 goals and providing 10 assists in 45 appearances, including a hat-trick in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen.
Lookman’s career has seen him play for RB Leipzig, Fulham, and Leicester City, where he demonstrated his ability to score and provide assists. His addition to Chelsea’s attack would bring much-needed pace and productivity. Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s manager, is keen to strengthen his attacking department, and Lookman’s signing would be a significant coup.
The report suggests that Chelsea is willing to offer Lookman a four-year contract worth £200,000 per week. If the deal is completed, Lookman would become a valuable addition to Chelsea’s attack, providing competition for places and increasing the team’s overall quality.
This news comes amid other reports of Premier League clubs making significant moves in the transfer market. Arsenal is reportedly close to signing a £39,000-per-week international player, while Liverpool is plotting a double raid on Real Madrid to address their attacking issues. Manchester United has also secured a £50.7 million transfer following intense negotiations, and FC Barcelona has reached a verbal agreement to sign a Bayern Leverkusen striker. The transfer window is heating up, and Chelsea’s move for Lookman is just the latest development in what promises to be an exciting summer of transfers.
