Inter Milan Target Ademola Lookman in €40m Transfer Bid

Arsenal legend, Ian Wright, has urged the Premier League club to make a move for Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman.

Lookman has already submitted a transfer request to the Serie A side, after they rejected several offers from Inter Milan.

Wright believes the Super Eagles forward is a “top player” who has “unfinished business” in England.

According to him, Lookman could help Arsenal finally win the Premier League title.

Speaking on his podcast, Wright said: “I hope we can buy him, Arsenal.

“I would love someone like him to come back to the Premier League and say, ‘Listen, I have unfinished business here so I am going to help Arsenal win the league’.

“But I just admire his journey and now he’s recognised rightly as a top player, unbelievable.”

According to Lookman, both he and Atalanta had previously agreed that the time was right for a transfer, with the club reportedly assuring him that he would be allowed to leave should a suitable offer arrive.

“It had already been decided that it was the right time for me to move on and experience a new adventure. Myself and the club ownership were in agreement that this summer was the right time for a new chapter,” he said
