An interesting update has emerged regarding Tottenham’s pursuit of Ademola Lookman, with Spurs wanting a quick answer regarding a deal for the Atalanta star.
The speculation linking Lookman with a move to Spurs has gone into hyperdrive, with the forward emerging as a target for the North Londoners late in the transfer window.
Spurs Web has relayed several sources over the last few hours claiming that Lookman is keen on completing a move to Tottenham.
The Lilywhites are expected to face competition for the 27-year-old, but a new update has suggested that they are not prepared to wait too long for an answer from the player.
Tottenham want an answer on Ademola Lookman by tonight
Dean Jones has now reported on TEAMtalk that Spurs first explored a move for Lookman last week and have now revisited a deal for the former Everton man in the dying stages of the transfer window.
His availability, combined with the fact that Tottenham’s other targets have become difficult to lure away, has led to the Lilywhites turning their focus towards the Atalanta star.
However, Jones makes it clear that Spurs will not wait around too long and are also simultaneously exploring moves for other attackers.
He asserts that the Premier League side wants an answer from Lookman and Atalanta by midnight, or they will move on to other targets.
Lookman would be another statement signing for Spurs
Lookman’s numbers for Atalanta are nothing short of formidable, with the forward scoring 52 goals and providing 25 assists in 118 matches for the Serie A side.
While he may not be a winger, it has been reported by some sources that Thomas Frank’s men are flexible in the profile of attacker they want, since Xavi Simons is also seen as an option who can play wide.
While Heung-min Son may have struggled at times last season, Spurs still need to replace his goals, and in Lookman, they will be getting a player who is guaranteed to get into double digits.
