West Ham United are considering a move to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman, following his phenomenal performance in the Europa League final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 26-year-old Nigerian international made history by becoming the first player to score a hat-trick in the Europa League final, leading Atalanta to a 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to The Mirror UK, new West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui and technical director Tim Steidten are keen on adding Lookman to the team’s left-wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hammers have been struggling to find quality on the left-wing, and Lookman’s impressive display in the Europa League final has made him an attractive option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lookman’s statistics this season are impressive, with 15 goals and eight assists in 43 appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His versatility and ability to play in various positions across the attack make him a valuable asset for any team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While West Ham’s interest in Lookman is understandable, the Hammers may face challenges in securing his signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His historic performance in the Europa League final has likely increased his market value, and the club may need to break the bank to sign him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the ongoing spot-fixing charges against Lucas Paqueta may limit West Ham’s financial resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, if West Ham can secure Lookman’s services, it would be a significant coup for the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability would undoubtedly strengthen the team’s attack, and his experience playing in the Europa League would be invaluable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
