Newcastle United are in contention to qualify for the Champions League this season.

If they do qualify for Europe, the Magpies will look to bring in players of a high calibre, adding quality and depth ahead of the new campaign.

Newcastle United are already looking at potential targets for the summer and one player they are said to like is Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman.

ASRomaLive have looked at the Nigeria international’s situation today, as he was publicly called out by manager Gian Piero Gasperini for his penalty-taking abilities. This saw the forward respond with a social media post criticising the Italian.

Lookman’s future is now uncertain and Juventus are looking to take advantage of the scenario. There is also interest from England. It’s stated Newcastle United’s interest is ‘worth noting’ and there is also interest from Arsenal and Chelsea. These clubs could provide competition to the Bianconeri in their race for the 27-year-old.

Lookman has impressed at Atalanta, scoring a hat-trick in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen last season. This season he’s scored 15 times in all competitions and has seven assists, while playing 28 games.
