Ademola Lookman has been on fire for Atalanta this season, which was further highlighted in their matchday 7 victory in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.
He scored another goal to seal all three points for his team to get them closer to the Champions League knockout rounds. Such performances will be sending out a message to potential buyers, with Liverpool hot on the tail for the winger.
According to Anfield Watch, Atalanta star Lookman has informed two Premier League clubs of his wish for a move back to England in the near future.
The report claims that Liverpool were contacted by the representatives of the 27-year-old during the summer transfer window regarding the possibility of a move.
As well as Arne Slot’s Reds, it is understood that Lookman has also offered his services to Premier League champions Manchester City ahead of the January trading point.
The Nigerian is said to have kept a property in the North-West of England in the eventuality that he secures a switch to either one of the aforementioned clubs.
Lookman turned out on 48 occasions for Liverpool’s local rivals Everton between 2017 and 2019, finding the net just four times for the struggling Toffees.
He was recently announced as the 2024 African Footballer of the Year following an exceptional campaign with Italian side Atalanta during 2023-24.
The Nigeria international made all headlines at the end of last season, netting a hat-trick during the Europa League Final against a previously-unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen.
The former Everton forward has enjoyed a productive campaign for Atalanta, scoring 14 goals and providing six assists across all competitions.
With Mohamed Salah yet to sign a new contract, Liverpool could begin their search for an ideal replacement, with Lookman showing the quality in recent games that he is ready to step up and join a big Premier League team.
Bet on Ademola Lookman to complete a transfer in January here.
