Newcastle United are eyeing a summer move for Nigerian international Ademola Lookman as they seek to bolster their attacking options ahead of next season, according to Football Insider.
The 27-year-old Atalanta forward has been in fine form in Italy and could be set for a return to the Premier League.
Lookman has built an impressive career across multiple European leagues, scoring 82 goals in club football.
His current tally at Atalanta stands at 49, making him one of the most productive attackers in Serie A.
Before moving to Italy, Lookman had spells in England with Charlton Athletic (12 goals), Everton (4 goals), Leicester City (8 goals), and Fulham (4 goals), as well as in Germany with RB Leipzig (5 goals).
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is reportedly keen on adding attacking reinforcements, especially with veteran striker Callum Wilson’s contract set to expire at the end of the season.
Although Lookman predominantly plays as a left winger, his versatility allows him to operate on both flanks and even as a central striker, making him a valuable asset for the Magpies.
