Ademola Lookman, the Nigerian forward, has attributed his remarkable rise to stardom to Serie A club, Atalanta. Lookman’s journey to the top was not without its challenges, having struggled to make an impact at Premier League clubs, Everton, Fulham, and Leicester City. His two-year spell at Bundesliga club, RB Leipzig, was also marked by difficulties.
However, since joining Atalanta in 2022, Lookman has blossomed into one of the world’s top forwards. His impressive form earned him the prestigious award of Africa’s best player in Marrakech, Morocco, on Monday night.
Lookman credits Atalanta’s supportive environment for his growth as a player. In an interview with Flashscore, he stated, “I think the environment that the club gave me has been very key to obviously my growth as a player. And also, just timing, you know, I’ve always believed in myself and to be able to achieve great things.”
Lookman’s success is a testament to Atalanta’s ability to nurture talent and provide players with the necessary support to thrive. The club’s commitment to developing young players has paid off, with Lookman being the latest example of their success.
