West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing Atalanta and Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman, according to reports.
Lookman, has seen his stock rise significantly over the past year, having led Nigeria to the AFCON final and played a pivotal role in Atalanta’s UEFA Europa League victory, where he netted a hat-trick in the final against Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

The Hammers are reportedly on the lookout for a productive, sharp attacker for next year’s transfer windows, and the Nigerian winger has emerged as an ideal target, according to Give Me Sport.
Would Lookman return to London?
The 27-year-old attacker’s football journey began in London’s Waterloo area, later joining Charlton Athletic before a move to Everton in 2017. After loan spells with Leicester City, Fulham, and RB Leipzig, he signed with Atalanta in 2022, where he has since established himself.
This season, Lookman has tallied four goals and four assists in six league games for Atalanta, but he is reportedly interested in a return to England.
With Lookman’s contract running until summer 2026, Atalanta might consider selling him next year to avoid the risk of losing him for free just before the 2026 FIFA World Cup ends.
