Chelsea have reportedly taken major step in getting Nigeria international Ademola Lookman to put pen on paper ahead of new football season.
This is as Lookman who netted hat-trick for Atalanta in the final of Europa League against Bayer Leverkusen.
Meanwhile, the inform winger has emerged as the Atalanta Player of the Season on Thursday.
The Bergamo-based side had a season to remember both in the continent and domestic scene.
Atalanta qualified for two finals with Lookman playing an active role in the campaign.
Lookman has also been in pool position for the next African footballer of the year.
Fellow compatriot, Victor Osimhen, is the current holder.
