Nottingham Forest are reportedly eyeing a summer move for Ademola Lookman as they set their sights on bolstering their squad for a potential UEFA Champions League campaign, according to TEAMtalk.
Currently sitting third in the Premier League with 54 points—five points ahead of Chelsea and six above Manchester City—Forest’s remarkable rise from near-relegation last season has put them firmly in contention for a top-four finish. With club owner Evangelos Marinakis aiming high for the future, the Reds are already planning a series of major signings for next season.
Among the players under consideration is Atalanta’s Nigerian forward, Ademola Lookman. The 27-year-old has impressed Forest with his performances, and TEAMtalk reports that the Premier League club has been monitoring Lookman for some time. The forward was recently named the 2024 African Player of the Year at the CAF Awards, further boosting his profile.
Lookman has been in scintillating form for Atalanta this season, registering 18 goals and 7 assists in 32 appearances across all competitions. His rise to prominence has been swift since his time at Everton, and he has become a key figure for the Serie A side. Notably, his historic hat-trick in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen helped Atalanta secure their first-ever European trophy.
Valued at €60 million, Lookman remains on Forest’s radar, though no final decisions have been made as the club evaluates its summer transfer strategy. With his stock rising and his ability to make a real impact on the pitch, Lookman could be a major addition to Forest’s squad as they look to build on their impressive season.
