Nottingham Forest, a high-flying English Premier League side, are reportedly interested in signing Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman in the summer transfer window. The Tricky Trees are currently third in the EPL with 54 points, just a season after narrowly avoiding relegation.
The Reds are planning to make significant signings in the summer transfer window, with club owner Evangelos Marinakis having lofty ambitions for the future. One of the players that Forest have taken a shine to is Atalanta forward Lookman, who was named the 2024 African Player of the Year.
Lookman has been in impressive form for Atalanta, scoring 18 goals and providing seven assists in 32 matches in all competitions this season. His stock has risen significantly since joining La Dea, with his historic hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen in last season’s Europa League final securing Atalanta’s first-ever European trophy.
Nottingham Forest are carefully evaluating their summer strategy, but Lookman remains on their radar. The Nigerian international is currently valued at €60m, and it remains to be seen whether Forest will make a formal bid for his services.
Lookman’s potential move to Nottingham Forest would be a significant coup for the club, and would demonstrate their ambition to compete with the top teams in the Premier League. With his impressive form and accolades, Lookman would undoubtedly be a valuable addition to the Forest squad.
