“He is unstoppable”- Ex-Super Eagles coach hypes Atalanta star Ademola Lookman

Lookman has been impressive for Atalanta since he joined the club two years ago

Former Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has praised Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman following his impressive performances for Atalanta, Soccernet.ng reports.

Lookman has been superb for Atalanta since he joined from RB Leipzig in 2022 for €9.35 million. The Nigerian attacker had previous stints at Everton, Leipzig, Fulham, and Leicester City, but he has adjusted quite quickly to life in Italy in his first seasons.

Last season, the 26-year-old forward registered 15 goals and eight assists in 33 appearances across all competitions. But this season, Lookman has provided 11 goals and seven assists in 37 games for La Dea.

He has been on a good run recently, registering two goals and three assists in his last three games. And his performances have turned heads.

Former Nigeria coach, Oliseh has also been impressed, as he shared his opinion on a video of Lookman’s solo goal against Empoli on Sunday.

“Ademola Lookman is simply unstoppable on a good day. Love watching this man play,” Oliseh wrote on X.

Atalanta are currently sixth in the Serie A, but if they win their remaining games this season, they will finish fifth and qualify for the UEFA Champions League. La Dea are also in the finals of the Italian Cup. Coach Gian Pero Gasperini will be hoping that Lookman can continue his impressive form and help Atalanta end the campaign on a high.
