Arsenal are said to be interested in signing a player who is linked to their Premier League foes.
Arsenal are n't as active as you'd probably have expected. The Premier League leading three last season's top three teams are keeping their powder a little drier, despite some leagues having a busy transfer window (yes, we mean you, Chelsea ).
Champions Manchester City have so far brought in just one new experience in Portuguese winger Savinho, although the team are closing in on a bargain to take Ilaky Gundogan up to the Etihad.
Arsenal's biggest offer this summertime so far has been the filing of Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori while they have even made David Raya's payment move permanent. Liverpool however, are the only team in the group but to bring in a second new player.
And Red fans may be waiting a while longer to see a new experience arrive, according to a record in Italy, which claims Arsenal are ready to sabotage a move for a Liverpool-linked intruder.
News emerged earlier this week that Arne Slot's team were interested in signing Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman, who enjoyed a successful year in Serie A next word before he netted a Europa League last hat-trick in his team's 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen.
England presumably see the previous Everton and Fulham winger as a possible alternative for Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz amid concerns over the two adversaries ' future. But journalist Alfredo Pedulla reports that Arsenal are also in for the 26-year-old and have' announced a proposal of €50 million plus bonuses' for the player with Gunners defender Jakub Kiwor potentially included in the deal.
He adds that Atalanta's asking price is in the €65-70m bracket, while the player did not train with the club on Wednesday. Liverpool, the report claims, are' in the background' of what is described as a' hot' situation.
In DataVictory's opinion, an Arsenal move for Lookman would see the club add depth out wide which is an area they would like to add to in an ideal world, although it is not a priority. The player himself has clearly kicked on in Italy since his underwhelming Premier League spells with Everton, Fulham and Leicester, but the price quoted does feel steep.
Lookman is valued at €40million by Transfermarkt which feels like a more realistic price than Atalanta are asking for. He currently has two years, plus a club option for another 12 months on his contract.
