After removing Atalanta from social media, is Lookman getting closer to Tottenham?

Gilabola.com – The conflict between Lookman and Atalanta coach, Ivan Juric, sparked the escalation of transfer rumors. Last summer he submitted a request to move but was rejected, and since then their relationship has continued to deteriorate. Lookman’s decision to remove Atalanta’s name from his Twitter bio makes the signs of separation even clearer.

On the other hand, Tottenham have strong reasons to move immediately. Thomas Frank’s team has lost sharpness several times this season, exacerbated by the injury to Randal Kolo Muani, who is now reported to have suffered a broken jaw. The striker is yet to score a goal for Spurs, but remains an important option that Frank needs in the midst of a difficult period.

The absence of Dominic Solanke further narrows the options. Ahead of his first North London derby as Tottenham manager, Frank only relied on Richarlison and academy graduate, Dane Scarlett.

The need for additional forward players has made Spurs management set several big targets. Rodrygo is the main name, with reports saying Tottenham are ready to spend around £70 million (around Rp. 1.45 trillion) to bring in the Real Madrid star whose future is no longer secure under Xabi Alonso. But their ambitions don’t stop there.

According to TuttoJuve’s report, Tottenham are ready to accelerate their steps to bring in Lookman in 2026. The winger wants to leave Italy after his relationship with Juric broke down and a move last summer was thwarted.

Tottenham’s interest is not without reason. Before the conflict, Juric even called Lookman a “spectacular” player. There is no doubt that he is still Atalanta’s most important player.

Spurs also have a potential advantage in negotiations. Lookman is represented by the same agency as Mohammed Kudus, which could provide Tottenham with better communication channels than other competitors.

In the attack line rebuilding project, Lookman is one of the realistic targets who can have a big impact. If they succeed in winning this hunt, Tottenham will not only get a quality winger, but also a player who has a strong drive to prove himself again in the Premier League.
