Two English giants want to sign Lookman in addition to Arsenal
Great English interest in the talented Nigerian Getty Images The Nigerian international's future remains uncertain, but the former Everton player believes he wants to leave Atalanta for a fresh start amid interest from a number of major clubs around the world, including Premier League heavyweights Arsenal and Liverpool. Great interest from English clubs other than Arsenal Although the Gunners' interest has been clearly stated and widely reported in the official media, there are several other English clubs interested in signing the player, including Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur have also recently joined the race. The race for Ademola Lookman's signature is intensifying, with Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa now joining Arsenal in pursuit of the Nigerian international. However, Serie A giants Inter Milan currently lead the chase for the in-demand forward, according to Sports Boom reports. Since his 2022 move from RB Leipzig to Atalanta, the 27-year-old has transformed into one of Europe's most dangerous attackers. His remarkable 2023/24 campaign yielded 20 goals and 7 assists across 40 appearances, highlighted by a stunning Europa League final hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen. These exploits earned Lookman the prestigious 2024 African Footballer of the Year award and cemented his status as one of the continent's premier talents. With multiple top clubs now vying for his services, the upcoming transfer window could see one of Europe's most hotly-contested battles for the prolific forward's signature.

La Liga 2025-26 🇪🇸: five French players to watch this season 🔎
Like Ligue 1 and the Premier League, La Liga is back this weekend. To mark the occasion, OneFootball presents the five French players to keep a close eye on this season in Spain! 5️⃣ Thomas Lemar - Girona After seven seasons with Atlético Madrid, Thomas Lemar is set to experience a new club. On loan to Girona from the Madrid outfit, Lemar will attempt to revive a career that has been stalled for several months. And what better way to do so than with an ambitious team hoping to bounce back from a mediocre 2024-25 season with an ambitious team? 4️⃣ Antoine Griezmann - Atlético Madrid While he was rumored to be close to joining the MLS, Antoine Griezmann has finally extended his contract with Atlético Madrid until 2027. The 2018 World Cup winner is delaying his departure to the United States, with the ultimate goal of winning his first Liga title with Los Colchoneros. So, is 2025-26 the season he finally achieves it, or is it just another year? 3️⃣ Eduardo Camavinga - Real Madrid What if Xabi Alonso's arrival on the Real Madrid bench allows Eduardo Camavinga to finally become an undisputed starter in Madrid? Since joining in 2021, the former Rennes player has oscillated between being a starter and a substitute in big games. The start of a new era with Xabi Alonso could be beneficial for him. One to watch! 2️⃣ Jules Koundé - FC Barcelona As the only French player in FC Barcelona's squad, Jules Koundé is, by default, the only French champion of Spain for the 2025-26 season! Like Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Pedri, and co., Jules Koundé will have to confirm his exceptional 2024-25 season this year. 1️⃣ Kylian Mbappé - Real Madrid Was Kylian Mbappé's first year at Real Madrid a success or a failure? The debate has been raging since the end of last season! As the current Golden Boot winner, the French captain will be expected to retain his title as the top scorer in European leagues, but also to help Real Madrid win titles again! If Mbappé wants to be the star of Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid, the new number 10 cannot afford to miss this 2025-26 season... 📸 Buda Mendes - 2025 Getty Images This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
