BREAKING: Ademola Lookman Expresses Strong Desire to Return to the Premier League
In a revealing interview earlier today, Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman confirmed his ambition to return to the Premier League, sparking speculation about a potential move in the upcoming transfer window.
The 26-year-old, currently playing for Atalanta in Serie A, shared his aspirations to rejoin England’s top flight during a media briefing following his team’s Serie A match this past weekend.
“I’ve always had a soft spot for the Premier League,” Lookman said. “It’s where I grew up, where my football journey started, and I’ve been following it closely.
It’s such an exciting league, and as a player, it’s hard not to want to be a part of that kind of intensity again. But right now, I’m focused on Atalanta, and when the right opportunity arises, I’ll be ready to take it.”
Lookman’s Premier League career began in 2017 with Everton, where he made an impact with his pace and flair. He later had a loan spell at Leicester City in 2021, although his time there was less successful, leading to his eventual move to Atalanta in Serie A.
Since joining the Italian club, Lookman has enjoyed a resurgence in form, showcasing his talent with consistent performances and an eye for goal, which has caught the attention of European football.
His recent comments have quickly ignited rumors about potential Premier League suitors. Clubs such as West Ham, Crystal Palace, and even Newcastle United are reportedly keeping a close watch on Lookman’s situation, with many seeing him as a perfect fit for their attacking setups.
His ability to operate across the front line, cutting inside to score or create chances, has made him one of Serie A’s standout players this season.
With January’s transfer window fast approaching, Lookman’s desire to return to the Premier League seems more realistic than ever. The Nigerian international has enjoyed a stellar campaign at Atalanta so far, scoring 6 goals and providing 3 assists in Serie A.
His performances have enhanced his reputation, and it seems likely that a move back to England could be on the horizon.
Although Lookman stopped short of naming specific clubs, his comments suggest he is open to any Premier League offer that would allow him to reach his full potential.
His recent form has made him an attractive target for top-flight clubs seeking a dynamic winger with a proven ability to make an impact in attack.
The news has certainly stirred the transfer market, with many waiting to see whether Premier League clubs will act swiftly to secure Lookman’s services in the coming months.
As for Lookman himself, his playful social media post, accompanied by the phrase “UTANG MFIN”—meaning “the future is mine”—reflects his confidence as he looks ahead to the next chapter of his career.
Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting transfer story. Will Lookman return to the Premier League sooner than expected? Only time will tell.
