Arsenal is not the only team interested in Lookman, as Aston Villa and Liverpool have also been linked to him. However, it seems like the Gunners are leading the race to sign him. Manager Mikel Arteta is looking for a new left winger to join the team, as Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard have been inconsistent in their performances. Lookman's skills and experience make him a strong candidate for the position.
Lookman had a great season in 2024/25, scoring 20 goals and providing seven assists in 40 games. He is now in his prime and has a strong track record in the Premier League. If Arsenal cannot sign their prime target, Real Madrid's Rodrygo, then Lookman will be their next option.
Atalanta's asking price of £52 million for Lookman is considered fair, given his age and abilities. As a player with experience in the Premier League, Lookman would be able to adapt quickly to the league if given the opportunity to return.
