Arsenal Receive Lookman Boost

Arsenal have received a major boost in their pursuit of Ademola Lookman, with PSG unwilling to pay the transfer fee demanded by Atalanta, according to Sky’s transfer expert Florian Plettenberg.

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.
