Lookman emerges as Chelsea's new target after Olise deal collapses

Chelsea have entered the race to sign Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman from Atalanta, according to reports from Calciomercato.

The Blues are willing to offer €60m for the 26-year-old Super Eagles star.

After securing the signature of Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham, the London-based side have also agreed a deal to sign Aston Villa’s Omari Kellyman and Barcelona’s Marc Guiu.

After pulling out of a deal for Crystal Palace's Michael Olise, the Blues have reportedly turned their attention to the Europa League final hero.

Lookman's impressive performance in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen has attracted the attention of top Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Liverpool.

The former Leicester City player made history by scoring a hat-trick against the Bundesliga champions at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, becoming the first player to achieve this feat.

Lookman had a remarkable season with Gian Piero Gasperini's side last season, scoring 17 goals and providing 10 assists across all competitions.
