According to Caught Offside, Manchester United are tracking Atalanta star Ademola Lookman. The Premier League club want to sign him but will probably face stiff competition from the likes of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Ademola Lookman is going strong
After plying his trade at multiple clubs, Ademola Lookman joined Atalanta in the summer of 2022. Since then, he has made huge strides and has emerged as a reliable name on the team sheet. His impressive performances have attracted interest from multiple clubs.
Lookman is going strong even in the ongoing campaign. He has already netted eight goals and provided five assists in 14 games. He is averaging 2.1 shots, 2.3 key passes, and 1.2 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).
The Nigerian player is versatile to don different roles in the front line. He has got great control over the ball and adds his creative abilities. With excellent passing skills and finishing range, he is a valuable player to have in the team.
Ademola Lookman can change Manchester United
Manchester United continue to have problems in the front line despite high investments. They are still struggling to create as many goals as they should be. Hence, their interest in procuring Ademola Lookman doesn’t come as a surprise at all.
Lookman is a versatile, intelligent, skilful, and effective attacker. He is at the peak of his powers and his arrival will surely help the Red Devils become more dangerous in the final third. He has ample prior Premier League experience and would require little time to pick his gear.
The 27-year-old is about to discuss contract renewal with Atalanta. Manchester United will be keeping a close eye on the talks and wouldn’t hesitate to place their cards if possible. Notably, the in-form striker should cost somewhere around €60-70m.
