Nottingham Forest and Newcastle have reportedly joined the race to sign Ademola Lookman during the summer transfer window.

Lookman, the current African Footballer of the Year, has attracted the attention of top clubs in Europe, including Premier League clubs. 

The Super Eagles star has been in tip form this season for Atalanta as they challenge for the Serie A title.

The winger has scored 18 goals and contributed six assists for the Serie A side in all competitions.

EPL sides want Lookman 

Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United are looking to sign Lookman, as reported by Football Insider.

The report also states that West Ham United has joined the race to sign the Atalanta forward, becoming the third Premier League club to show interest.

Forest may need to surpass the £35 million club record paid for midfielder Elliott Anderson to secure Lookman.

Following a disagreement with manager Gian Piero Gasperini over a missed penalty, Atalanta believes they will lose the Super Eagles star this summer. 

The 2024 Europa League winner has expressed his desire to leave the club this summer as his main objective.

Lookman has scored 50 goals in 110 appearances for the Bergamo club in all competitions since joining them from RB Leipzig in August 2022.
