Although fans of Nigerian international, Ademola Lookman, may not find funny the decision of Atalanta to banish him to the bench, clubs burning to have him have cause to be happy.
Among such are PSG and Arsenal, with the latter appearing to potentially be the luckiest.

While PSG have advanced in their bid for him, they are unwilling to pay the transfer fee demanded by Atalanta, according to Sky’s transfer expert Florian Plettenberg, according to a report in ‘The Punch’.

It notes that the Nigeria forward is still very keen to join the French giants, but he has to play the waiting game, as a possible deal is currently stalling because both clubs have yet to reach an agreement.

PSG are the 26-year-old’s first choice, but a move to Paris now looks unlikely despite both parties reaching total verbal agreement. This provides his other suitors an opportunity to make a move.

Lookman was left out of the Atalanta squad to face Torino in a Serie A fixture on Sunday, being the second consecutive game Lookman is being dropped for, further increasing speculation about his future.

According to Express Sports, Arsenal, who have been monitoring the situation, will be hoping to secure a late move for the player, who is said to be valued at around £51m.
Lookman is represented by the same agency as Kai Havertz, which could swing proceedings in Arsenal’s favour when it comes to snapping him up amid a roster of suitors.
