West Ham United are interested in signing Atalanta attacker Ademalakeman during the summer transfer period.
According to a report from Sky Sports France, they have identified the 27-year-old as replacing Mohammed Kudus. The player has linked to Tottenham Hotspur and could be on his way out of the club soon.
Nigerians can be a quality alternative. He has proven himself in Italy and has the ability to succeed in the UK. He has played in the Premier League before and the opportunity to return to English football could be exciting for him.
Ademola Lookman improves West Ham
He is at the peak of his power, and this is the right time for him to take on new challenges. West Ham needs a dynamic attacker like him, and Nigerians are the ideal fit. He can slot into multiple offensive roles and tips with goals and creativity. Lookman scored 20 goals last season and scored seven assists.
He has proven himself in Italy and if a transfer is made, he aims to make his mark in British football. West Ham had a disappointing season last time, and they start to bounce back hard. Signing the right players will help them get better.
Can West Ham convince players?
It will be interesting to see if they can convince Lookman to join the club. He also links to other English clubs. He is a quality player and is hoping to join a club that will likely win the trophy. West Ham finished in the lower half of the league table last season, and they need to convince him of their ambitions.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
