He made his Serie A debut, played his first game in the Atalanta shirt and scored his first goal for the team: Ademola Lookman’s first appearance for Atalanta probably could not have gone any better than this.

Ademola Lookman is a fast and skilful winger with the ability to drift past defenders, attack the depth and can play various roles in the attack. His signing was made official on the 4th of August.

Nine days later, on 13 August, Gian Piero Gasperini subbed him on at the Stadio Ferraris in Genoa against Sampdoria: the Nigerian with English citizenship made his official debut in the top division of Italian football and for Atalanta in the 63rd minute and repaid the coach’s trust in the 95th minute, as he doubled the team’s lead against the Blucerchiati. His late goal also sealed the first three points of the season.

Well done, Ademola!
