Lookman Agrees Terms with PSG, But Arsenal Lurk in the Shadows

• Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman verbally agrees to join Paris Saint-Germain, but negotiations with Atalanta are stalled.
• Arsenal remain interested in signing Lookman and will pounce if the PSG deal falls through.

Super Eagles wing wizard Ademola Lookman has verbally agreed to join Paris Saint-Germain, but the Nigerian winger's future remains uncertain. While PSG are keen to finalize the deal, Arsenal remain interested in signing Lookman, waiting in the wings in case the transfer falls through.

Lookman's impressive performances for Atalanta, including a hat-trick in the Europa League final, have made him a coveted asset. His refusal to join training sessions has signaled his desire to leave the Italian club, and PSG's interest has provided a potential escape route.

However, according to transfer news expert and Sky Sports Germany reporter, Florian Plettenberg, negotiations between PSG and Atalanta are currently stalled, leaving the door ajar for Arsenal to make a move. The Gunners have been monitoring the situation closely, and their interest in Lookman remains strong.

While PSG are eager to replace Kylian Mbappe, Arsenal's interest in Lookman is unwavering. Mikel Arteta's side are keen to strengthen their forward line, and Lookman's skills align with their requirements.

As the summer transfer window nears its closure, the next few days will be crucial in determining Lookman's future. If the PSG deal collapses, Arsenal will be ready to pounce, offering Lookman a viable alternative.
