Super Eagles and Atalanta winger, Ademola Lookman has cemented his status as one of Serie A’s top performers, earning the second highest rating in the league for the season so far according to reputable football statistics website, WhoScored.com
The rating which was released on WhoScored’s official X account saw Marcus Thuram ranked as the highest rated player in the league (7.67). He was closely followed by Ademola Lookman (7.45) and Nicolò Barella (7.27). AC Milan’s star player Rafael Leao finished fourth (7.23) while Hakan Çalhanoğlu was named fifth (7.21).
Ademola Lookman has proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with in the Serie A and even in the Champions League. The Atalanta winger has recorded 9 goals and 5 assists in the league, making him the second highest goal contributor, only behind Marcus Thuram (15) and Mateo Retegui (15).
Due to his contributions, Atalanta are currently 13 games unbeaten in the league and they are only three points behind league leaders, Napoli with a game in hand.
With three goals and one assist in the Champions League, Lookman is also quickly building a reputation for himself outside of Italy, prompting various clubs around the continent to table their interest for the attacker ahead of what should be an interesting tug-of-war in the summer to secure his services.
As the season continues, Lookman who recently made his 100th appearance for Atalanta in a Supercoppa semifinal loss, will undoubtedly remain a key player to watch as Atalanta strive to maintain their excellent form and achieve success in the various competitions they are competing for.
