Nigerian international Ademola Lookman has reportedly contacted five Premier League clubs following the collapse of his anticipated move to Inter Milan.
According to TBR Football, Lookman's representatives have initiated discussions with Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur in recent days as they actively seek an exit from Atalanta.
The 27-year-old forward recently returned to Atalanta's Zingonia training facility after Inter Milan officially withdrew their interest following weeks of difficult negotiations between the clubs.
Sources close to the situation reveal that Lookman is deeply disappointed by the failed move to Inter, having previously submitted a formal transfer request to Atalanta's management.
In a dramatic turn of events, the Nigerian star had reportedly gone on a two-week training strike to protest Atalanta's refusal to sanction his transfer to their Serie A rivals.
Lookman's determination to leave Atalanta this summer transfer window remains strong, with the Premier League emerging as his most likely destination given his previous experience in English football.
The forward rose to prominence in Italy last season, particularly with his historic hat-trick in Atalanta's Europa League final victory over Bayer Leverkusen, making him the first African player to achieve this feat in a major European final.
With the transfer window closing soon, it remains to be seen which of the five Premier League clubs might secure Lookman's signature, or if Atalanta will manage to retain their star player despite his clear desire to leave.
