PSG considers Lookman as Mbappe’s replacement

Paris Saint-Germain look to replace Kylian Mbappe as they are considering a deal for Atalanta forward, Ademola Lookman.

Lookman was impressive last season, helping Atalanta finish fourth and qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.

The Nigerian forward also single-handedly defeated Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Europa League final, scoring an hat trick.

PSG attempted to sign Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams and Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia after losing their top player to Real Madrid but could not struck a deal.

However, PSG is considering a move for the former Everton winger as the Nigerian international’s representatives have  been contacted.

Lookman, a product of Charlton Athletic’s academy, was acquired by Everton in 2017 for an £11 million transfer price.

He was sold to RB Leipzig two years later and was subsequently on loan at Fulham, later at Leicester City.

However, he moved permanently to Atalanta in 2022 and have since had an incredible career with the Italian club.

He has thus bagged 32 goals and 18 assists in 79 appearances, with a trophy to his cabinet.

Lookman was named Atalanta player of the season in both of his campaigns for the club and was a key player in last season’s Europa League triumph and their run to the Copa Italia final.

Apparently, Paris Saint-Germain will look to sign the talented winger as they hope to fill the void of Mbappe.
