Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman has been left out of Atalanta’s squad for their upcoming Serie A fixture against Lecce, sparking speculation about his potential move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Italian media reports suggest that Lookman has expressed his desire to join the French champions, although PSG has not yet made a formal offer for his services.
Lookman’s exclusion follows a standout season with Atalanta, where he played a crucial role in their Europa League victory over Bayer Leverkusen, including scoring a hat-trick in the final. His impressive performances have caught the eye of several top European clubs, with PSG reportedly among those interested.
In related transfer news, Crystal Palace is reportedly leading the chase to sign Carney Chukwuemeka from Chelsea. Chukwuemeka, who joined Chelsea from Aston Villa in 2022, has made 27 appearances for the club. Despite having four years remaining on his contract, Chelsea’s new manager, Enzo Maresca, is open to allowing the 20-year-old midfielder to leave in search of more playing time.
Chukwuemeka, a Nigerian-born England Under-21 international, has struggled with injuries, including significant knee issues last season, which have impacted his playing time. Crystal Palace’s interest suggests they are looking to capitalize on his potential and offer him a chance to play regularly.
