The campaign for Arsenal to sign Ademola Lookman continues to gain momentum as Ian Wright openly backs the potential deal.
The former Arsenal striker has urged the club to act swiftly and bring the Atalanta forward back to the Premier League.
Lookman, who previously featured for Fulham and Leicester, has already requested a move away from Atalanta this summer.
Notably, the Italian club rejected several bids from Inter Milan, prompting Lookman to push for an immediate transfer.
Importantly, Wright believes the Nigerian international still has more to offer and could help Arsenal win the league.
While speaking on his podcast, Wright stated Arsenal would benefit from Lookman’s hunger, creativity, and attacking versatility.
“I hope we can buy him, Arsenal,” Wright said. “He’s got unfinished business and can help Arsenal win the league.”
Lookman’s explosive pace and ability to score in big matches make him a player Arsenal fans would certainly embrace.
Lookman and Atalanta Agree on Departure Terms
Interestingly, Lookman confirmed that he and Atalanta had already agreed on a possible departure during the current window.
According to him, the club initially promised to allow his exit if a suitable offer emerged from a credible destination.
“It had already been decided it was the right time to move on and experience a new adventure,” Lookman revealed.
Besides, he emphasized that Atalanta’s management respected his ambitions and fully supported his desire for a fresh challenge.
Arsenal’s Title Ambition May Gain New Firepower
In Wright’s opinion, if Arsenal sign Ademola Lookman, could provide the missing spark Arsenal needs to finally clinch the league title.
Additionally, he praised Lookman’s career journey, resilience, and the well-deserved recognition he now receives as a top player.
If Arsenal signs Ademola Lookman, the club would gain valuable depth and flexibility across the frontline next season.
