Sprint legend and lifelong Manchester United fan Usain Bolt has revealed the player topping his summer wish list for the Red Devils – Atalanta’s in-form winger Ademola Lookman, Footynaija.com reports.
The Jamaican icon, who holds the world records in both the 100m and 200m, named the Nigerian international as one of three players he believes Manchester United should pursue as they look to rebuild under Erik ten Hag.
“The left winger from Atalanta, he’s called Lookman. I have watched him throughout, he’s pretty good,” Bolt said in a recent interview.
“I think Cole Palmer has really showed his class and the striker I would like is Viktor from Sporting. Those are the three signings I would definitely get for this summer,” he added.
Arsenal have added Ademola #Lookman to their shortlist for the summer. More teams are keen on him.

Lookman, 27, has emerged as one of Serie A’s standout performers this season. He has registered 18 goals and six assists in 37 appearances across all competitions and played a crucial role in Atalanta’s Europa League triumph in the 2023–24 campaign.
Reports from Germany suggest Lookman is set to leave Atalanta this summer, attracting interest from several top clubs across Europe.
Arsenal have also been linked, with Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reporting that Mikel Arteta’s side have included Lookman on their summer transfer shortlist.
While his future remains undecided, Lookman remains focused on the task at hand. Atalanta currently sit third in Serie A with 65 points and are locked in a tight race to secure Champions League qualification for next season.
