Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman is open to a return to the Premier League, with interest coming from both Chelsea and Arsenal, BSNSports.com.ng sourced on Monday.

The Gunners are particularly interested in the 27-year-old, who gained recognition last year for his impressive performances in the Europa League, earning a nomination for the Ballon d’Or.

According to TEAMtalk, both Chelsea and Arsenal have placed Lookman on their shortlist as a possible option for the summer transfer window, although he is not their primary target.

Lookman is certainly a player to keep an eye on this summer, and further developments are anticipated in the coming weeks and months.

As previously reported, Chelsea is keen to sign a new striker, but Lookman is not at the top of their list. His age and wage demands have resulted in him not being favoured by the recruitment team.

Sources close to Chelsea indicate that Lookman is on the list of potential signings, but a move is considered unlikely.

On the other hand, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has specifically requested the club to sign a proven striker who can help propel the team toward the Premier League title.
