According to a report from BR Football, several Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle United, and Arsenal, had scouts in attendance to watch Nigerian international and Ballon d’Or nominee Ademola Lookman during Atalanta’s UEFA Champions League clash against Arsenal.
The clubs are reportedly monitoring Lookman’s progress closely, having already expressed interest during the summer transfer window. Alongside Lookman, Brazilian midfielder Ederson was also on their radar.
Liverpool are particularly keeping tabs on the 26-year-old forward, though it remains unclear whether they will make a formal move. With attacking options like Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, and Darwin Núñez, the Reds are well-stocked on the left wing. However, Lookman’s versatility—able to play across the front line—makes him a tempting addition to the five-time UEFA Champions League winners.
