•Lookman on 13 goal contributions across 13 games in UCL, Serie A

Ademola Lookman’s impressive form for Atalanta BC has made headlines this season, with the Nigeria international racking up 13 goal contributions—eight goals and five assists—in 13 appearances across the UEFA Champions League and Serie A.

The 27-year-old forward has continued to deliver for the Italian outfit, solidifying his reputation as one of the most consistent attackers in Europe and has drawn the attention of several top clubs.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage, Lookman has proven his value with decisive contributions. Despite a goalless draw against Arsenal on Matchday 1, the forward announced himself in style on Matchday 2, bagging a goal and an assist in Atalanta’s commanding 3-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk. He continued to provide a spark, assisting a goal in the 2-0 win against VfB Stuttgart on Matchday 4.


Lookman’s Serie A campaign has been nothing short of spectacular, contributing to Atalanta’s title challenge. After a quiet start to the season largely due to transfer links, the Nigerian found his rhythm in Matchday 4, scoring and assisting in a 3-2 victory over Fiorentina. His brace and assist in the 6-1 thrashing of Hellas Verona on Matchday 9 further underlined his ability to dominate games.

He added two more goals in a tough outing against Napoli, the only goals in the clash. His dynamic play in multiple positions—whether as a second striker, centre-forward, or attacking midfielder—has been pivotal for Atalanta’s strong domestic and European campaigns.

This form follows an equally stellar 2023/24 season, where Lookman notched 17 goals and 10 assists in 45 appearances, including a memorable hat trick in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen.

Since his arrival at Atalanta in 2022, Lookman has scored 40 goals in 92 games, a testament to his steady rise as one of the most reliable forwards in the game.

Unsurprisingly, his exploits have not gone unnoticed. Reports suggest that Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain are among the clubs monitoring Lookman’s situation. With his contract running until June 2026, Atalanta are under no immediate pressure to sell, but interest in the Nigerian international continues to grow.

For Atalanta, Lookman’s impact this season has been profound. Whether driving his team forward in Europe or delivering key moments in Serie A, the Nigerian remains integral to their ambitions. As speculation about his future intensifies, Lookman’s consistent performances ensure he remains at the centre of attention in the football world.
