Atalanta star and Arsenal target Ademola Lookman has reportedly reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain.
**WHAT HAPPENED?**
Lookman was a key player for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side as they won the Europa League last season, marking their first major trophy since 1963. He scored a hat-trick in the final against Bayer Leverkusen. However, the Nigeria international has been pushing for a move away from the club this summer, even going so far as to skip training sessions to force the issue.
**THE BIGGER PICTURE**
According to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany, Lookman has now reached a verbal agreement with Paris Saint-Germain for a summer transfer. PSG has initiated contact with Atalanta as they seek to replace Kylian Mbappe, though negotiations are said to be stalling at the moment.
**DID YOU KNOW?**
Arsenal is also interested in signing Lookman this summer, with Mikel Arteta eager to strengthen the Gunners’ attacking options. Reports indicate that Arsenal is closely monitoring the situation and is prepared to act if the deal with PSG falls through.
**WHAT’S NEXT FOR LOOKMAN?**
The summer transfer window closes at 11 PM BST on August 30, so PSG will be eager to finalize the deal quickly to avoid any last-minute complications.
