Atalanta sign ‘new superhero’ Lookman

Lookman has put pen to paper on a new deal for the Italian Serie A campaigners

Atalanta have completed the signing of Super Eagles winger, Ademola Lookman on Thursday.

The club announced the deal on Twitter with Lookman tagged a “new superhero”.

The former RB Leipzig winger joined the Italian side in a €15m deal according to Italian transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano.

The length of Lookman’s deal and duration of his contract wasn’t announced by the Nerazurris.

Lookman has had a quite nomadic career which has seen him play at four English clubs and a German club in the last seven years.

The former Charlton winger was last on loan at Leicester where he scored nine goals and made five assists in 42 appearances.

He made his Super Eagles debut earlier this year in Nigeria’s ill-fated World Cup qualifiers against Ghana in Abuja. He has since gone on to score his first national team goal against Sao Tome and Principe.

Lookman is expected to jostle for one of the shirts in the wing positions in a team with a great attacking verve.
