Not Chukwueze: Saka’s hamstring injury to hasten Arsenal’s move for another Super Eagles forward

Emirates FA Cup record Champions, Arsenal, have rekindled their interest in Super Eagles and Atalanta forward, Ademola Lookman after Bukayo Saka picked up a hamstring injury, Soccernet.ng reports.

The Gunners have been second-best to Manchester City in the previous two English Premier League campaigns. With Liverpool currently leading the charge this term, Mikel Arteta’s side have encountered more problems as their starman, Saka is set to spend a huge period on the sidelines due to an injury.

Arsenal are six points behind Arne Slot’s side who have a game in hand. The Emirates faithful will play ten games in the next four weeks without their most prolific attacker, which spells danger.

As a result, the 2019 UEFA Europa League finalists are searching for a forward that can slot in for Bukayo Saka. As per Arsenal Core, the Gunners are looking at options to try and sign Ademola Lookman from Atalanta in the January transfer window.

Atalanta have already declined Liverpool’s enquiry about the Nigerian attacker who won the 2024 CAF Player of the Year Award.
