Arsenal legend Ian Wright has urged his former club to sign Ademola Lookman this summer to boost their attacking options.
Speaking on his Wrighty’s podcast Wight said Lookman has come a long and he is on top of his game even as the Gunners’ executives worry about his age, believing he is at his peak performance.
“I remember him from Charlton, it didn’t work out [the] £10million [move] to Everton, then moving all over the place, the journey from loan to this, then I think that’s one of the most devastating performances I’ve seen in any final with that hat-trick he scored.
“You know, it’s just… I can’t help but look at his dark moment where it would have been dark for him. You know, especially all those loans going to another country.
“And you know what? He never had no problem going wherever he needed to go to find it.
“And then obviously, like you say, you find your place. Like Scott McTominay’s found that, like he [Lookman] found with Atalanta.
“I hope we can buy him, Arsenal.
“I would love someone like him to come back to the Premier League and say, ‘listen, I have unfinished business here so I am going to help Arsenal win the league’.
“But I just admire his journey and now he’s recognised rightly as a top player, unbelievable.”
