Arsenal added a series of Serie A to their list of transfer hopes this summer, according to a report.
Last week, Mikel Arteta was beaten as the Premier League by Liverpool, with the history of the Gunners season being their dull goal record compared to their rivals – largely due to an attacking injury crisis and a long -standing lack of a “clean ” n ° 9.
The North London Club has scored 64 goals in the league this season, 17 less than Liverpool, and less than Newcastle (65) and Manchester City (67).
Indeed, they were linked to a plethora of attackers this season, notably Viktor Gyokerres, Alexander Isak and Benjamin Sesko.
And now Arsenal has joined the race to sign the Wantaway attacker Atalanta Ademola Lookman, according to Germany Sky Sports.
The Nigerian international, who had Premier League spells with Leicester City, Fulham and Everton, has established himself as one of the first wingers of European football at the Italian club.

Lookman inspired Atalanta to the glory of the Europa League last season, marking a hat -trick in the final. His heroic saw him crowned African footballer of the year in December.
However, he had public disagreements with his manager Gian Piero Gasperini and seems ready to leave the club this summer.
Gasperini described Lookman as “one of the worst penalty takers he has ever seen after Champions League Get out against Club Brugge in February.
Lookman applauded back and said that his manager had been “deeply disrespectful” by selecting him.
The 27 -year contract with Atalanta takes place until 2027, and it is understood that its release clause is worth 55 million euros (45.4 million pounds sterling).
Lookman recorded 20 goals and seven assists in all competitions for Atalanta this season, which is third in Serie A.
Elsewhere, Arsenal’s interest in Gyokerres and Isak was well documented.
Several reports this season have revealed that Gyokerres is interested in playing in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Arteta would be a longtime admirer from Isak, and Arsenal has been linked to a decision for him in recent years.
Newcastle’s sources insist that there is no price asking for a player he wants to keep in St James’ Park, but it would almost certainly take costs higher than the British record of 115 million pounds sterling that Chelsea paid for months Caicedo if he were to leave.
The situation of Isak sur Tyneside is not simple. He is already the best employee in the club and has a contract until 2028. However, there is no doubt that a player in his caliber could demand a higher salary elsewhere.
For the moment, Newcastle is unable to improve the status of its contract due to the PSR, but a return to the Champions League would likely change this position in summer. He would also provide the player with the platform for the best European competition he wants.
