Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur has set its sights on Ademola Lookman as a possible offensive reinforcement for this season.
According to TEAMtalk, negotiations for Savinho with Manchester City have cooled in recent days, leading the London board to make a move for the Atalanta attacker, whose price would be between 35 and 40 million pounds.
Savinho steps back and Lookman gains ground
For weeks, the Spurs insisted on closing the arrival of Savinho, even willing to pay close to 65 million pounds. However, City's refusal to part with the young Brazilian and the lack of progress in negotiations have led to disappointment around the player.
Faced with this scenario, Ademola Lookman emerges as a realistic and more affordable option. The 26-year-old Nigerian striker was key in Atalanta's attack last season, where he scored 17 goals and provided 10 assists in all competitions, establishing himself as one of the most impactful attackers in Serie A.
The profile Tottenham is seeking
Coach Thomas Frank wants to add dynamism and depth to his squad, especially on the wings. In this sense, Lookman fits the style they are looking to implement: a fast player with dribbling skills and the ability to decide important matches.
The Spurs board believes that the Nigerian international can complement players like Xavi Simons, recently signed for 52 million pounds, and become a key piece for the club's immediate future.

Atalanta is not closing the door to a sale, as long as the economic proposal is convincing. According to sources close to the Italian club, they have already been in contact with various European teams that have shown interest in Lookman. However, Tottenham seems best positioned due to their financial strength and the urgent need to add offensive reinforcements.
In addition to Lookman, the Spurs have closely followed Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa and have explored the possibility of a move for Kobbie Mainoo from Manchester United, although both operations appear to be challenging.
An intense market closure
Tottenham has already made significant investments this summer with arrivals like Mohammed Kudus, João Palhinha, Kota Takai, and Simons. However, the sports management considers it essential to add another attacker to face a long and demanding season in the Premier League.
With the end of the market approaching, the North London club is accelerating for Ademola Lookman, who sees a competitive leap positively after shining in Italy.
If the transfer is finalized, the Nigerian international would join an ambitious project that aims to return Tottenham to the forefront of English and European football.
