Former Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has praised Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman for his outstanding performances at Atalanta. Lookman joined Atalanta in 2022 after leaving RB Leipzig for €9.35 million. Lookman has had a major influence on the team.
Lookman has adjusted to life in Italy quite well in his first few seasons, even though he had previously played for Everton, Leipzig, Fulham, and Leicester City.
The 26-year-old attacker put on a show last season with 33 appearances across all competitions, 15 goals, and 8 assists. With 11 goals and 7 assists in 37 appearances this season—including three goals and three assists in his past three games—Lookman has maintained his impressive form.
The former Nigerian coach, Sunday Oliseh, showed his respect for Lookman following the winger's solo strike against Empoli. "On a good day, Adelola Lookman is just unstoppable."I adore seeing this dude perform," Oliseh said on X. Atalanta, who is now sixth in Serie A, may move up to fifth place and a position in the UEFA Champions League if they win their remaining games this year.
They have also advanced to the Italian Cup finals. Lookman has been crucial lately, and coach Gian Pero Gasperini will be depending on him to keep up his good work and assist Atalanta in finishing the season with a bang.
