Ademola Lookman sends message as West Ham transfer officially announced…
Ademola Lookman has been linked with a move to West Ham.
The Hammers are in the market for a new winger after selling Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham in a £55million deal.
The 27-year-old fits the bill as he notched 20 goals and seven assists in all competitions for Atalanta last season.
Whether Graham Potter and Co can get a deal over the line for the former Fulham star remains to be seen.

West Ham can seal Lookman deal next
Lookman reportedly wants to return to English football after a successful spell in Italian football, and Potter needs a winger after losing Kudus.
Iconic commentator Ian Darke believes that the former Everton and Leicester ace would be a brilliant replacement for Kudus, labelling him as “electric”.
Stats (All competitions) Lookman
Matches 40
Goals 20
Assists 7
Minutes played 2,871
Lookman’s stats last season.
He is a better player than the new Spurs man and has drastically improved as a footballer since his last stint in the Premier League with the Foxes.
The Italians are believed to be looking for a £52m fee for the Nigerian international, who has notched 52 goals and 25 assists in 118 matches since his 2022 move, and the Hammers have just banked more than that for selling the Ghanaian.
It seems a no-brainer for David Sullivan, as Lookman has European experience and has proven his quality in a top-five league, it is exactly the type of player that the Irons should be targeting.
The only issue may be convincing him to make the move; he may have his sights set on a bigger move than Potter’s side, as it is an ambitious swoop from the team that finished 14th in the league.
