Tottenham rule out fresh move for Ademola Lookman
Tottenham Hotspur were linked with Ademola Lookman during the summer transfer window, but they are unlikely to return for him in January.
Ademola Lookman was a summer target for Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, but they have now decided on a potential fresh move for him. According to a report by Give Me Sport, Tottenham have decided to abandon their pursuit of the Nigerian international.
The 27-year-old could have been a very useful acquisition for them, but they have already signed players like Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons. Spurs have also brought in a striker in Randal Kolo Muani. They will not be able to offer the African regular opportunities, and it makes sense for them to look at other areas of their squad.
Tottenham should look to add more quality and depth through the defensive unit and the midfield instead. It will be interesting to see where Lookman ends up.
Lookman to return to England?
Ademola Lookman has been linked with a return to the Premier League in recent seasons. The London-born attacker has been a reliable performer in Italy, and he scored 20 goals last season. There is no doubt that he has the quality to play in the Premier League.
Lookman could have been a quality addition for most teams. However, the player was unable to secure a move away from Italy this summer. He will certainly hope to finalise a move in January. The Atalanta attacker has played in England before, and he will look to make an instant impact if any potential move goes through.
As for Tottenham, they have done well to improve the squad this summer, and it will be interesting to see if the new signings hit the ground running. They will be hoping to secure a place in the top four and fight for trophies.
There is no doubt that they have a quality team and a quality manager. They will be expected to perform at a high level this season. Despite winning a trophy last season, Tottenham were quite mediocre in the league. A club of their stature should be doing a lot better.
