Super Eagles attacker Ademola Lookman is at crossroads with just four days left until the close of the transfer window in the top five European leagues.
The 27-year-old winger has failed to get his desired transfer to a big club this summer. He has been linked to many clubs in the top five European clubs, but only Inter Milan put in a bid.
However, Atalanta deemed the offer as insufficient and rejected it. That triggered Lookman to call out the club on social media and go on strike.
But after all the drama, the Super Eagles star is back at Atalanta, albeit there is still a slight chance that he will leave.
Lookman is currently training separately from the rest of his teammates as it appears that he could still leave Atalanta.
With just four days left until the transfer window in the top five leagues closes, Soccernet.ng highlights five clubs that should be looking to swoop in for Lookman this summer.
1. Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur would be a good position for Ademola Lookman, especially with Thomas Frank as coach.
Spurs need some quality players due to their participation in the UEFA Champions League. Although Mohammed Kudus has been impressive since joining the club, the season just started, and there will be times when they need to rotate.
Ademola Lookman really is the perfect signing.
He is at peak age, has done it on The European Stages, produces very good output, and learned so much from an elite manager like Gasperini.

Lookman could be that guy for them. He is quick, deadly in the box, and most importantly, helps out defensively－ am attribute Frank would love.
The Super Eagles star is also available for €50 million. And for a frugal club like Tottenham, that would be a great deal.
2. Bayern Munich
The German Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich would also do well with a player like Lookman in their ranks.
The Bavarians have a pretty lean squad and are a couple of injuries away from being forced to use academy players to prosecute games

Lookman would be a quality addition to the right side of their attack, as they can rotate him and Luis Diaz.
The Super Eagles star can even operate as a striker. So, Harry Kane would be able to get enough rest. Lookman’s €50 million price-tag is also a decent one for a big club like Bayern Munich.
3. Crystal Palace
Ademola Lookman is a big player and really should be targeting a big club. However, with his current situation at Atalanta, he should consider all the available options.
Crystal Palace need attacking reinforcements after losing Eberechi Eze to Arsenal. They also need to sign players to help them cope with the demands of continental football.
Lookman would be a great signing for them, as his efficiency in counter-attacking situations would be a lethal weapon for Palace coach Oliver Glasner.
Crystal Palace should be going all out to get him before the summer transfer window closes.
4. Arsenal
At the end of last season, it seemed like Arsenal would go all out to sign Ademola Lookman due to Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard inefficiencies. But they have not even looked towards him.
With Eze now with the Gunners, coach Mikel Arteta might be tempted to bench Odegaard for the England international. So, Arsenal will still need a right winger.
Lookman seems to be a better option than what the Gunners currently have. So they should consider a move before the transfer market closes.
5. Liverpool
The Reds have been very busy this summer, but they still have some work to do. They need one more forward, and it is looking increasingly likely that Alexander Isak will not join them.

Hence, Lookman is an option they should be looking at. Signing him wouldn’t be a problem, as Atalanta are willing to sell. The Reds just need to submit a €50 million bid, and they will have their man.
