Lookman joined Bergamo in 2022 from Leipzig and scored 55 competitive goals for the Italian club. His greatest moments of glory came the year before last in the Europa League final, where he scored a hat-trick against Leverkusen and saw to it that his opponent’s remarkable streak of 51 games without defeat ended.
Lookman was born in London, represented England in youth categories. He played 41 games for Nigeria. Atlético believes that it will also help him in the elimination part of the Champions League, in which the team awaits a double-header against Bruges in February.
