With the shirt of Charlton, Ademola Lookman he seemed truly predestined. So much so that for the Nigerian winger born in England in Wandsworth there was literally a queue in the stands of the London stadium. Raised in the youth team, he made his debut at a very young age at seventeen, and shortly thereafter his first goal and first double arrived. Everton bought him for almost ten million euros in the winter of 2017. Fifteen appearances, then he went on loan to RB Leipzig who saw great qualities in him, great strikes, but they didn’t buy him. They will do it a year later, after a goalless season again at Liverpool.
Total disappointment
The subsequent stages are a real flop. The loan to Fulham was unsuccessful, he arrived at Leicester but the team was now a shadow of Ranieri’s, and he returned to Leipzig. This is how the Goddess thinks about it: Atalanta has no doubts, the Orobic team closes the deal and a new story begins.
Three goals for the victory
Yesterday’s hat-trick seals a wonderful adventure for the Nigerian, the first African to score a hat-trick in a European competition final. With Gian Piero Gasperini he becomes a total attacking winger, more inside the pitch, more inside the game. He had never scored so much, he had never made so many assists, not even when he seemed like a miraculous promise at Charlton.
