Exclusive: Tottenham working on last-minute deal to sign ‘unstoppable’ forward after Kolo Muani
Tottenham Hotspur Eye Late Move for Ademola Lookman as Transfer Deadline Looms
Tottenham Hotspur are making a dramatic late push in the transfer market, with reports suggesting that the north London club have turned their attention to securing Ademola Lookman from Atalanta before the window slams shut. According to sources from GIVEMESPORT, Lookman has quickly risen to the top of new head coach Thomas Frank’s wish list as he looks to bolster his attacking options on deadline day.
The Lilywhites are already on the verge of completing a deal for Randal Kolo Muani, who is set to arrive on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. The French international, who played a key role in PSG’s Champions League-winning campaign last season, had been pushing for a move to England, and Spurs managed to strike an agreement with the Ligue 1 champions. Yet, despite the imminent addition of Kolo Muani, Tottenham are determined to bring in another forward before the 7pm deadline, highlighting the urgency with which Frank wants to reshape his frontline.
Spurs Step Up Lookman Interest
Talks between Tottenham and Atalanta are ongoing, but the two clubs remain at odds over the structure of a potential deal. While Spurs are keen on securing Lookman initially on a loan basis with an option to buy, the Serie A outfit are demanding a more concrete commitment. Atalanta’s stance is clear: they are only willing to part ways with the Nigerian international if a permanent move is guaranteed, ensuring a substantial transfer fee in return.
The situation has been further complicated by interest from elsewhere. Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich had already approached Lookman over a possible switch last weekend, underlining the calibre of clubs monitoring his availability. Sources suggest that the 27-year-old, who has enjoyed an impressive stint in Italy, is open to a fresh challenge and is carefully considering his next move.
Frank’s Final Third Reinforcements
Inside sources reveal that Tottenham had initially made Kolo Muani their primary focus for deadline day business. With that deal now close to completion, the club have quickly pivoted to pursuing Lookman, viewing him as an ideal addition to provide creativity and unpredictability in the final third. Frank, who has made no secret of his desire to strengthen the squad’s attacking depth, believes the former RB Leipzig and Leicester City winger could inject pace, flair, and directness into Spurs’ frontline.
Lookman, often described as “world-class” and even “unstoppable” by admirers, has developed into a consistent performer in Serie A, earning a reputation for his dribbling ability, intelligent movement, and knack for scoring decisive goals. His versatility—capable of playing on either wing or through the middle—adds to his appeal for Tottenham, who are juggling multiple injuries and the need to remain competitive across domestic and European competitions.
A Race Against Time
The main sticking point remains Tottenham’s preference for a loan with an option to buy, as opposed to Atalanta’s insistence on a permanent transfer or, at the very least, an obligation to purchase at the end of the season. With just hours left before the window closes, both clubs will need to find middle ground quickly if a deal is to be finalised.
For Spurs, the prospect of landing both Kolo Muani and Lookman before the deadline would represent a huge statement of intent, signalling Frank’s determination to hit the ground running in his first season in charge. For Lookman, the move would mark a return to the Premier League and a chance to showcase his talents on one of the biggest stages once again.
