Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman has been left out of Atalanta’s squad for their upcoming Serie A match against Lecce. This decision follows Lookman’s expressed desire to join Paris Saint-Germain, though no official offer has been made by the French champions.
Lookman’s omission comes as no surprise given the ongoing speculation linking him with a move to PSG. His impressive performance, including a hat trick in Atalanta’s Europa League victory over Bayer Leverkusen last season, has attracted interest from top European clubs.
In related news, Crystal Palace is reportedly ahead in the race to acquire Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka. The 20-year-old, who joined Chelsea from Aston Villa in 2022, has struggled with injuries but is seen as a valuable asset. Chelsea’s new manager, Enzo Maresca, is open to Chukwuemeka’s departure to facilitate more playing time elsewhere, despite the midfielder having four years remaining on his contract.
