Gasperini Praises Lookman’s Impact on Atalanta’s Success
Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini has credited Ademola Lookman for playing a significant role in the club’s recent success. The Nigerian winger’s impressive performances have been instrumental in Atalanta’s strong form both domestically and in Europe.
Lookman’s heroics in the Europa League final, where he scored a historic hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen, propelled Atalanta to their first major trophy in over 60 years. His continued contributions this season, with nine goals and five assists in 15 appearances, have further solidified his status as a key player for the club.
Gasperini acknowledged the positive impact of last season’s Europa League triumph on the team’s morale and confidence. The addition of new players, combined with the strong performances of established stars like Lookman, has helped Atalanta maintain their high level of play.
