Arsenal and Liverpool both have confirmed their interest in signing Ademola Lookman.

According to reports, there has been interest from both Liverpool and Arsenal in Atalanta's talented player, Ademola Lookman. However, Atalanta seems confident in retaining the 26-year-old despite the rumors swirling around potential bids from the Premier League clubs.

Lookman's career has been a bit of a journey, as he burst onto the scene as a promising teenager at Charlton before making his way to Everton. Unfortunately, he struggled to make a lasting impression at Goodison Park and eventually ended up at RB Leipzig after a successful loan spell.

Although he showed glimpses of his potential at Leipzig, Lookman's true breakout came during his loan spells at Fulham and Leicester. His performances caught the attention of Nigerian national team, but it was at Atalanta where he truly flourished, scoring an impressive 24 goals in 62 Serie A appearances.

The highlight of Lookman's career so far came in last season's Europa League final, where he scored his first ever hat-trick to help Atalanta secure a victory against Bayer Leverkusen. This exceptional form reportedly caught the interest of Arsenal, who are in the market for a winger to provide competition and cover for Bukayo Saka.

However, it seems that the reported interest from Liverpool and Arsenal may not be accurate. According to reliable sources, Atalanta is confident in their ability to convince Lookman to stay at the club and commit his future to them.

Meanwhile, Arsenal is making moves in the transfer market, with Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad and Joan Garcia from Espanyol rumored to be close to joining the Gunners. Garcia would serve as the understudy to David Raya, assuming that Aaron Ramsdale is able to secure a move away from the Emirates.

In addition, it looks like striker Eddie Nketiah is on his way out of Arsenal, with Nottingham Forest reportedly close to agreeing on a £30 million deal for the England international. This could potentially add to Arsenal's transfer budget, along with the possible departure of Reiss Nelson, who is wanted by Leicester.

However, Nelson's high wages could be a stumbling block for any potential deal. It remains to be seen how Arsenal's transfer dealings will pan out, but fans can stay updated on all the latest news, exclusives, and analysis by signing up for our newsletter.
