Lookman was highly regarded during his formative years at Charlton Athletic before moving to Everton. He failed to hit the ground running at the Toffees and ended up getting a surprise move to Leipzig in 2019.
The 27-year-old failed to establish himself at the Bundesliga club with loan spells at Fulham and Leicester City. After many struggles, Lookman finally became a star with Serie A giants Atalanta.
The attacker has been brilliant from the left wing and forward positions for the Italian team. He has been a key contributor in goals and assists since his arrival in 2022 and could now face a bigger challenge.
Liverpool are well occupied at the left wing position at the moment, but could consider Lookman as an option up front. Darwin Nunez has been disappointing as a striker and could be replaced by the Nigerian ace.
United could consider him as an attacking midfielder or winger in a 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-3 formation. He could also play up front in a two-forward partnership, which he has done regularly at Atalanta.
Atalanta values its precious asset at around £50 millionaccording to Caught Offside. Lookman has become an important player and the Serie A heavyweights could hold their own in the transfer valuation next summer.
United could have a clear advantage over Liverpool in the search, having already secured the likes of Hojlund and Amad Diallo from the Italian side. They have a good working relationship with Atalanta.
