Ademola Lookman Named in Serie A Team of the Week After Stellar Comeback Performance

Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman has been named in the Serie A Team of the Week following his impressive display in Atalanta’s 3-2 win over Fiorentina.

Lookman, who missed the first three games of the season due to ongoing transfer talks with Arsenal and French champions Paris Saint-Germain, made a remarkable return to action at the Gewiss Stadium last Sunday.

The 26-year-old played a key role in Atalanta’s second win of the season, scoring one goal and providing an assist. His contributions helped secure a crucial victory, earning him a spot in the prestigious weekly team.

Lookman forms part of a formidable attacking trio in the Team of the Week, alongside Romelu Lukaku and Florian Thauvin. The midfield includes Christian Pulisic, Youssouf Fofana, Iling Junior Samuel, and Mateo Zaccagni.

Defensively, the team features Denzel Dumfries, Theo Hernandez, and Alessandro Buongiorno, with Napoli’s Alex Meret named the goalkeeper.

Lookman’s standout return puts him back in the spotlight as a crucial figure for Atalanta, as they aim to build on their strong start to the Serie A season.
