Tottenham Hotspur have turned their attention to Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman as the London club pushes to add fresh attacking firepower — www.naijnaira.com reports.
According to reports, Spurs could make a late move for the Atalanta forward with negotiations expected to cost in the region of €50 million.
The interest comes after Tottenham failed to land Eberechi Eze, who chose Arsenal, while Manchester City refused to sanction a €70 million deal for Savinho.
Lookman, who has impressed across Europe with his decisive play and composure in big matches, is now firmly on the radar of the Spurs hierarchy.
German journalist Florian Plettenberg revealed that Tottenham also made contact with RB Leipzig over Xavi Simons, but his €70 million price tag complicates the pursuit.
Chelsea remain in the mix for Simons, meaning Spurs may have to pivot quickly if they want to strengthen Thomas Frank’s frontline before the window shuts.
Atalanta previously held talks with Inter Milan about Lookman, but those discussions collapsed after the Italian club balked at the €50 million asking price.
Tottenham view Lookman as a versatile attacker who can operate wide, link up with Richarlison, and bring much-needed creativity into their attack.
With only days left until the deadline, the North London club could accelerate talks as pressure mounts to deliver reinforcements for the season ahead.
