Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman's proposed move to either Napoli or Inter Milan has hit the rocks, with the player's club refusing all offers so far. However, Tottenham are now in the race and confident that a transfer fee can be agreed with the North London outfit, with September 1st the transfer deadline day fast approaching.
Lookman, formerly of Charlton Athletic and Everton, had a highly successful spell at Atalanta, scoring 39 goals in 93 Serie A games, helping Atalanta to a Europa League title. However he has fallen out with the club's board over a transfer, and intends to never play again for his current team.
The Nigerian international is apparently available for 50 million euros, with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy locked in negotiations with Atalanta for the striker.
It is understood that Inter Milan pulled out of a deal as they felt 40 million euros was about the right fee to pay, and now Spurs will deal a big blow to the Lookman's Serie A potential suitors.
Lookman has two years remaining on his current deal.
