Ademola Lookman, the talented winger for the Super Eagles, has been honored as Atalanta’s Player of the Month for both May and June. He emerged victorious in the voting ahead of Gianluca Scamacca and Ederson, underscoring his exceptional performance during this period.
Over these two months, Lookman, aged 26, showcased his prowess with six goals and three assists, highlighting his impact on the team’s success on the field.
Throughout the season, Lookman’s contributions were pivotal, culminating in a total of 17 goals and eight assists across various competitions, solidifying his status as a key player for Atalanta.
Since joining Atalanta in 2022, Lookman has consistently impressed and proven his worth:
He has notably been one of Atalanta’s top scorers, accumulating 30 goals over two seasons and finishing as the club’s fifth-highest scorer in Serie A during his debut season.
However, Lookman’s defining moment arrived in the 2023/24 Europa League final, where he etched his name in history with a spectacular hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen. This memorable performance secured Atalanta’s first European trophy and marked the first time since 1969 that a player achieved a hat-trick in a one-legged European final, held at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
Beyond his goal-scoring prowess, Lookman brings invaluable attributes to Atalanta. His speed, dribbling ability, and knack for creating scoring opportunities make him a constant threat on the wing, significantly contributing to the team’s tactical approach and overall success.
