The Hammers have thrown its hat into the ring for Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman, with three other Premier League clubs also keen on signing the Atalanta forward, as per Team Talk.
The 27-year-old Nigerian international has been in stellar form since joining the Serie A side, where he has already recorded five goals and five assists in ten appearances this season.
Lookman, who drew significant attention after his Europa League hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen last season, has continued to impress, leading several clubs to consider him a top target. While PSG, Chelsea, and Arsenal have shown interest in the past, Atalanta remained firm, setting a hefty €60 million valuation on the winger, while Transfermarkt estimates the player’s current value at €40 million.

West Ham faces stiff competition, not only from clubs outside the league but from three Premier League rivals whose identities remain under wraps. However, Lookman’s next move could hinge on his desire for a more competitive environment, as he may lean toward clubs with title aspirations over those focused on survival.
With Lookman’s form attracting increased interest, the upcoming transfer window promises a potential bidding war among Premier League clubs eager to bring the dynamic forward into their ranks.
