Premier League side West Ham United are reportedly eyeing a summer move for Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman as a potential replacement for Mohammed Kudus, according to Sky Sports France.
With Kudus attracting serious interest from Tottenham Hotspur, the Hammers are preparing for his possible departure and have identified Nigerian international Ademola Lookman as a top target.

The 27-year-old enjoyed a sensational campaign with Atalanta last season, scoring 20 goals and registering seven assists in 40 appearances across all competitions. His standout performances have placed him firmly on the radar of clubs across Europe.
Lookman, who previously played in the Premier League with Leicester City, Fulham, and Everton, could be open to a return to England. West Ham are hoping to capitalise on that interest as they look to strengthen their attack ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Statistically, the winger impressed in Serie A, averaging 3.24 shots per 90 minutes with 39.5% of those on target. While his passing accuracy stood at 72.5%, his ability to create and finish chances remains a key asset.
Under contract with Atalanta until 2027, Lookman won’t come cheap, but West Ham are reportedly ready to table a convincing offer to lure him back to the Premier League.
The Hammers view the Nigerian forward as a direct, high-impact replacement for Kudus and are set to intensify talks in the coming days.
