Newcastle Joins Arsenal and Liverpool in Race for PSG’s Summer Target

Late in the summer transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain was linked to Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman. Nonetheless, it appears Premier League clubs are keen on the 26-year-old forward.

As the transfer window drew to a close, Lookman was linked with several top clubs, including PSG, Arsenal, and Liverpool, who were all reportedly interested in the 26-year-old. Since joining Atalanta in 2022, he’s made a strong impression.

Last season, Lookman played 45 games, showcasing his skill with 17 goals and 10 assists. One of the standout moments of his season was his stunning hat-trick in the UEFA Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen.

Despite not moving this past summer, the Atalanta standout has his admirers. According to TeamTALK (h/t Le10Sport), Lookman continues to attract interest from Liverpool and Arsenal, with Newcastle being a new suitor in this rumor mill.

These Premier League clubs could make a move to convince Atalanta, who are asking for €55 million for the Nigerian standout. With Lookman’s contract running until 2026, the club rejected the offers and felt they didn’t need to sell him. 

It will be interesting to see whether the Serie A side does decide to sell him next year or whether they’ll look to extend him.
