Despite Napoli Interest, Atalanta Star Only Wants Inter Milan Move

Yahooa day ago
Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman only has eyes for Inter Milan this summer, despite the emergence of Napoli in the pursuit of his signature.
As reported in today's newspaper edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, and via FCInterNews.it, the Nigeria international is determined to join Inter and has no intention of moving anywhere else, or indeed, remaining at Atalanta.
Inter have agreed a five-year contract with the former Fulham and Everton player, at €4.5 million rising to €5m, and hope to finalise a transfer fee with Atalanta shortly.
Indeed, the Nerazzurri are ready to use the largest portion of their summer transfer budget on securing Lookman and have submitted a €40m offer to Atalanta for him.
Napoli remain keen and have held talks with Lookman's representatives, only to be informed that the player will only consider Inter this summer.
Similarly, interest from La Liga outfit Atletico Madrid has also been shut down and their is optimism at Inter that a breakthrough could be made this week.
Lookman will also push Atalanta to release him, whilst the Biscione may increase their upfront offer slightly in order to convince the Bergamo club to accept.

Argyle 'working hard' to bring in new striker

Plymouth Argyle head coach Tom Cleverley says the club is "working hard" to bring in an experienced centre forward. With Ryan Hardie and Mustapha Bundu having left the club over the summer, the Pilgrims' attacking options are limited. Argyle have signed youngsters Bim Pepple and Owen Aseni, while wide players Jamie Paterson and Xavier Amaechi have also joined the club in the current transfer window. "We all want those deals to be done as quick as possible," Cleverley told BBC Radio Devon. "Now it's important that you don't bring the wrong one in, just because he's there to do. "There's a premium price on League One strikers and people who can score goals at this level. "We're working really hard and I'm confident we'll see one come in in the next 10 days."
