The Gunners are seeking to bolster their attack following three consecutive runner-up finishes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Ademola Lookman has impressed since moving to Italy Credit: Getty Lookman, 27, has had previous Premier League spells with Everton, Fulham and Leicester - with mixed fortunes. Since moving to Atalanta in 2022, the winger has gone from strength to strength - winning the Europa League and finishing 14th in the Ballon d'Or last year. Wright, 61, believes that Lookman would be well placed to improve Mikel Arteta's front line. On his Wrighty's House podcast, the former forward said: "I'm going to go with Ademola Lookman winning the African Player of the Year in respects of that man's journey.

"You know, it's just… I can't help but look at his dark moment where it would have been dark for him. You know, especially all those loans going to another country. "And you know what? He never had no problem going wherever he needed to go to find it. "And then obviously, like you say, you find your place. Like Scott McTominay's found that, like he [Lookman] found with Atalanta.

SunSport recently revealed that Lookman has admirers at Arsenal. Some Gunners chiefs, however, are concerned about his age - believing that at 27 Lookman may have already peaked.

Sir Dave Brailsford set for reduced role at Man Utd
Brailsford has played a major part since Ratcliffe secured his stake in United in February 2024, stepping down as team principal of the Ineos Grenadiers cycling team to take charge of footballing operations at Old Trafford and investing considerable time and energy in driving change at the club. But after a season in which United finished 15th, their worst Premier League finish, and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham, Ratcliffe is planning a shake-up which will see Brailsford return to his role as director of sport for the wider Ineos group, as first reported by The Times. Under the plans, Jason Wilcox – currently United's technical director – will reportedly be named director of football, and former Tour de France winner and Olympic champion Geraint Thomas is set to take on a leadership role with the Grenadiers when he retires as a rider at the end of the year. Sir Dave Brailsford, left, with Jason Wilcox (Nick Potts/PA) Brailsford, 61, has overseen a major overhaul of United's operations, including a £50million redevelopment of their Carrington training ground. Ratcliffe has scaled back some of Ineos's sporting commitments, terminating its sponsorship of the New Zealand rugby team and ending his bid to win the America's Cup. However, Ratcliffe remains committed to the cycling team, who no longer hold the dominant position they did when winning the Tour de France in seven out of eight editions between 2012 and 2019. Thomas, 39, has said he will retire after the Tour of Britain in September.
