Tottenham could secure the signing of Ademola Lookman once the winter transfer window opens. Spurs attempted to sign the 28-year-old on loan with an option to buy during the summer transfer window, but their offer was rejected by Atalanta.

After signing from RB Leipzig in 2022, Lookman has been a vital player for Atalanta over the years. He has consistently maintained his prolific goalscoring record and scored a hat-trick in Atalanta’s 2024 Europa League victory against Bayer Leverkusen. The Nigerian forward is now rumored to leave the club after being involved in a heated exchange with Ivan Juric.

Lookman was frustrated for being substituted in Atalanta’s 1-0 win against Marseille in the Champions League. When he approached the touchline, he was grabbed by the arm and berated by the Atalanta manager. As a result, the supporting staff had to intervene and hold the player back to prevent unnecessary escalations. After the drama that unfolded, it would not come as a surprise if Atalanta and Lookman choose to part ways in January.
