The Sun reports that Ruben Amorim's side are eyeing a move for Lookman, who is enjoying a fine season in Italy with this side aiming for UEFA Champions League qualification. Manchester United are prepared to sanction a cash-plus-player deal to sign the Nigerian forward, with Hojlund being offered in the deal.
