The 27-year-old has scored 19 goals and provided six assists in 38 games for La Dea across all competitions this season, and has been one of the most sought-after European stars after he helped Atalanta to a UEFA Europa League win about a year ago.

“I'd go for the left winger from Atalanta. He's called Lookman. I've watched him throughout, and I think he's pretty good.
“I think I'll go for Cole Palmer as well. He has a good shot and he's class. Then I'll go for the striker from Sporting Lisbon. Viktor Gyokeres. Those are the three players I'll get for the summer,” the 38-year-old said in an interview with Bleacher Report.
