West Ham United is reportedly considering a move for Ademola Lookman after his strong performances with Atalanta. Internal discussions have been held about signing the Super Eagles star in an upcoming transfer window. As the club searches for an adaptable attacker to complement players like Jarrod Bowen, Mohammed Kudus, Niclas Fullkrug, and Crysencio Summerville, Lookman’s ability to play multiple forward positions makes him an attractive option.

With his Premier League experience at Everton, Fulham, and Leicester City, Lookman has already amassed 96 appearances in the English top flight. His recent rise in profile, spurred by stellar club and international performances, saw him nominated for both the Ballon d’Or and African Footballer of the Year awards. Lookman also played a crucial role in Nigeria’s journey to the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, earning a spot on the CAF Team of the Tournament.

While Jhon Duran of Aston Villa remains West Ham’s top target, Lookman and Lille’s Jonathan David are on the shortlist as potential alternatives. With two years left on his contract at Atalanta, Lookman would likely come with a significant transfer fee for any club pursuing him.
