Manchester United are reportedly among the frontrunners for the potential transfer of Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman this summer.

The Nigerian international has been in exceptional form in Serie A, making it no surprise that several top clubs are now vying for his signature.

Lookman has previously been linked with a move to the Premier League, and it seems Manchester United now face competition from Newcastle United and Juventus for the 27-year-old.

According to a report from Tuttomercatoweb, Lookman could be available this summer for a fee in the region of €60million (£50million).

With an impressive 18 goals and six assists across all competitions this season, the reported fee appears reasonable for one of the most exciting attacking players in Europe’s top five leagues.

Ruben Amorim is likely to make changes to his squad this summer, and Lookman would represent a significant upgrade on underperforming players such as Antony.

There is also speculation surrounding the future of Marcus Rashford, while Alejandro Garnacho could be available for the right offer, according to Give Me Sport.

If Lookman were to make the move to Old Trafford, he could immediately play a key role in the squad.

It would be fascinating to see how the winger performs on his return to English football, having developed into a more mature and well-rounded player during his time in Italy.
