Born in London, he had Premier League experience with Charlton, Everton and Fulham, and also played in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig. He had a reasonable amount of success in all of these, but his talent blossomed when he joined Atalanta in the summer of 2022.
He has made more than 100 appearances for the Italian club, scoring 47 goals and providing 23 assists. He played a major part in winning the Europa League last season, and this season he is competing with Napoli and Inter Milan for the domestic league title.
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool are interested in Atalanta’s 27-year-old forward Ademola Lookman. Although he has been in good form this season, Gian Piero Gasperini was highly critical of him for failing to take a penalty against Club Brugge the other day.
Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jotta and Luis Diaz have all been linked with moves, while Mohamed Salah is also struggling to agree a new contract. Federico Chiesa has also not performed as well as expected and is expected to return to Italy.
The 27-year-old Nigerian winger has a proven record in European competitions, and his experience in the Premier League is also attractive. He has also played a number of games in the England under-category, scoring six goals in 23 games after changing sides.
However, as he will turn 28 this October, it is unlikely that Liverpool will make a positive move, but what would it be?
