Lookman, 26, has been in stunning form, carrying his momentum from the AFCON 2025 qualifiers—where he netted twice in two matches for the Super Eagles—into his club performances.
In Sunday's thrilling 3-2 victory over Fiorentina, Lookman showcased his ability with a goal and an assist, further cementing his reputation as one of Serie A's standout performers.
The Nigerian's consistent displays have not gone unnoticed, with some pundits tipping him as a strong contender for the next African Player of the Year award, potentially succeeding his compatriot, Victor Osimhen.
Among those impressed by Lookman's recent performances is renowned photojournalist Pooja Media, who boldly suggested that the Atalanta star could be the solution to Arsenal's perceived issues with Martinelli.

Ademola Lookman to Arsenal Speculation
Pooja Media stated, "If Arsenal wants to solve Martinelli's constant headaches, Ademola Lookman is the man to take them to promise land.”
“He's now matured with goals to his game as a winger. Nigeria Pride,” he added.

The timing of this suggestion is noteworthy, as Martinelli has been experiencing a goal drought in the Premier League, not having found the net since March.
In contrast, Lookman has been in prolific form, with his goal against Fiorentina opening his account for the current season.
This comes on the back of an outstanding 2023/24 campaign where he contributed 17 goals and 9 assists, playing a pivotal role in Atalanta's historic Europa League triumph.
While Arsenal secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Tottenham in the North London derby to keep pace with Manchester City in the title race, questions surrounding Martinelli's goal-scoring form persist.
The Brazilian was involved in the match but failed to make a significant impact on the scoresheet.
The Gunners were linked with the former Fulham star in the summer, but it remains to be seen whether they will reconsider reinforcing their attacking options when the window reopens in January.
)
Lookman's versatility, recent form, and proven track record in both domestic and European competitions certainly make him an intriguing prospect for top clubs looking to bolster their squads.
For now, the Nigerian continues to shine for Atalanta, while Arsenal and Martinelli focus on their Premier League campaign.

However, if Lookman maintains his current trajectory, speculation linking him with a move to one of Europe's elite clubs is likely to intensify.
