Recent reports indicate that Arsenal might consider dumping the potential Eberechi Eze transfer for Nigeria’s forward.
Arsenal are reportedly exploring a potential transfer move for Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman as a more cost-effective alternative to Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, according to emerging reports.
While Eze has long been admired by Mikel Arteta’s camp, his valuation, believed to be in the region of £60–70 million, has prompted the North London club to consider other high-performing options with a lower financial outlay.
Lookman, who recently made headlines with a his ongoing transfer saga and his request for a possible departure from the Serie A side, Atalanta.
The 26-year-old Nigerian international enjoyed a stellar 2024/25 campaign, scoring consistently across Serie A and Europe, and playing a key role in Atalanta’s silverware success.
His dynamic attacking style, ability to operate across the front line, and recent pedigree on the European stage have caught the attention of top Premier League sides.
Though Arsenal have not yet made a formal approach, their interest comes as clubs prepare for strategic squad reinforcements ahead of the 2025/2026 season in the Premier League and Champions League.
