Crystal Palace and Tottenham were also interested in his services.
The report states that Arsenal are ready to sanction a transfer in the summer window, ahead of the player signing a four-and-a-half-year deal.
Despite already signing the player up to a new contract in south London this season, the Addicks are looking to cash in now.
After signing the contract extension, Lookman said: "This club is very important to me and I’m very grateful for the chance Charlton have given me.
"I wanted to repay my debt because I owe something to this club. Giving myself until 2020 is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time now. I’m pleased it’s finally done."
The 18-year-old has earned rave review for his performances for the Addicks this season, enough for Gunners manager Arsene Wenger to take note and steal a march on other interested parties.
Lookman, who started his footballing career out at Waterloo FC, has amassed a credible four goals in 16 Championship appearances in a struggling Charlton side.
