Soccernet.ng reports that Ademola Lookman, the Super Eagles forward, has caught the attention of multiple Premier League clubs following his impressive tally of seven goals this season. However, Juventus poses as a strong contender, intensifying the competition, according to the outlet.

Since his move from RB Leipzig to Serie A in 2022, Lookman, 26, has thrived, netting 22 goals in 56 games under Gian Piero Gasperini’s guidance at La Dea. This season, his form remains robust with seven league goals and three assists in fifteen starts for the team.

Daily Mail suggests that the former RB Leipzig player might be considering an exit, prompting keen interest from various English Premier League teams and some from French Ligue 1. OGC Nice and Juventus stand out among these suitors, with the Bianconeri currently showing stronger interest. This could dissuade other Premier League clubs, despite Lookman’s extensive 96 appearances in the league.

Juventus boasts a remarkable history in Italian football, clinching thirty-six Scudetto titles, coupled with significant financial strength—an enticing prospect for many players seeking an ideal environment to perform.

Jose Peseiro has included Lookman in the final 25-man AFCON squad, signaling his pivotal role in Nigeria’s quest for a fourth continental title. This tournament marks Lookman’s debut in a major competition for Nigeria after his switch from representing England at all youth levels to playing for the Super Eagles in 2022.
