Overview

• Arsenal Station, citing TBR Football, reports the club has spoken with Ademola Lookman’s representatives in recent days.
• Lookman remains an Atalanta player, but reporting describes a damaged relationship after an unannounced Aug. 19 return and prior absences.
• Inter’s pursuit has cooled, and Manchester City, Tottenham and Aston Villa are also said to have held conversations with the winger’s camp.
• Atalanta are reported to want about £43m for Lookman, who posted 20 goals and seven assists last season and scored a Europa League final hat-trick.
• Alfredo Pedulla and EPL Index flag questions over professionalism and agent conduct, which could give Arsenal pause as they focus resources on Eberechi Eze.
