Chelsea reportedly set to open talks with another Super Eagles player

Chelsea Football Club are reportedly set to open talks with Super Eagles and Atalanta's forward player, Ademola Lookman.

Italian sport-based news outlet Calciomercato confirmed that Chelsea are willing to pay up to €60 million for the Nigerian player, Ademola Lookman if he becomes available. The Blues are working around the clock to find a player who can support Nicolas Jackson up front going into the 2024/25 season.

Lookman was the hero of the Europa League final when he led his team to victory over Bayer Leverkusen, scoring a hattrick in the game. He ended the unbeaten run of the 2023/24 Bundesliga Champions led by Xabi Alonso. However, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich are also interested in getting the Nigerian.

Chelsea have also agreed on a deal with Aston Villa’s Omari Kellyman, Barcelona’s Marc Guiu and Palmerias’ Estêvão Willian as they look to challenge for trophies next season under Enzo Maresca.
