Tottenham Hotspur are considering making a move for Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman, who is pushing for an exit.

Lookman’s future has become a massive talking point as his relationship with Atalanta took another major hit following his public altercation with manager Ivan Juric. The Nigerian international is now keen on parting ways with the Italian club, and a winter move could be on the cards.

According to a report from Fichajes, Tottenham Hotspur are interested in acquiring his services, as they look to reinforce their attack. Thomas Frank’s side are well aware of his situation at Atalanta, and they are looking to make the most out of it.

Spurs have been tracking him for months.

Lookman’s time at Atalanta could end soon

Lookman has had his differences with Atalanta in the past as well. But the recent confrontation between him and Juric in the dugout during a European game suggests his time at the club could soon come to an end.

The 28-year-old wasn’t pleased with the manager’s decision to take him off at a crucial point in the game. Lookman made his feelings known while walking past him, and the duo ended up in a physical confrontation.

Tottenham are making moves to sign Lookman

Lookman is now keen on leaving the club in the upcoming transfer window, and Atalanta also seem ready to listen to offers for the Nigerian forward. Tottenham have emerged as a potential destination.

The North London side seeks more quality in the final third. With Dominic Solanke struggling to stay fit, Thomas Frank is keen on bringing in a versatile forward who can add goals as well as creativity.

They consider the former Everton, Fulham and Leicester City attacker an ideal fit for their system, and have already started exploring the terms of a potential transfer. While Spurs are keen on his signature, Atalanta will only let him go on their terms.

Nigerian fans on social media have fiercely condemned Atalanta coach Ivan Juric following an alleged physical altercation with Ademola Lookman during a Champions League match against Marseille. The uproar comes just months after SoftFootball reported how Lookman was finding his rhythm again at Atalanta after a turbulent summer that almost saw him leave the club.

Tensions between Lookman and his manager appear to have reignited, sparking renewed discussions about the winger’s future. This incident arrives on the heels of SoftFootball’s earlier report on Inter Milan’s failed pursuit of the Nigerian star after Atalanta refused to lower their valuation.

The outrage began when Nigerian user @oku_yungx posted what he described as an open letter to the club. He condemned the coach’s alleged conduct, writing:

Mr. Coach, it has come to our attention that your recent conduct towards Ademola Lookman was both unprofessional and unacceptable… Every player deserves dignity and respect, regardless of nationality.

Media personality @PoojaMedia echoed the sentiment, insisting:

You can’t put your hands on a player. Atalanta must sack their manager. No matter what Lookman said, you don’t put your hand on a player.

The frustration was shared by @john322226, who highlighted Lookman’s stellar record, his historic Europa League final hat-trick, Player of the Season award, and CAF African Footballer of the Year triumph, demanding the respect he deserves.

Other users, like @Wizarab10 and @Buchi_Laba, called for Lookman to leave the club, labelling Juric’s behaviour irresponsible and aggressive. Meanwhile, @abazwhyllzz reminded fans of Lookman’s legacy, noting:

He single-handedly gave Atalanta their first Europa League trophy. He deserves to be treated better.

As the storm rages online, Atalanta’s silence has only intensified fan pressure, with many insisting that the club must act to protect one of their brightest stars.
