Ademola Lookman has given his first interview since completing his transfer from RB Leipzig to Atalanta. Lookman, who spent last season on loan at Leicester City, has said choosing to commit his future to Atalanta was a ‘simple decision”. He told the club’s YouTube channel.
“I am happy to be here. I am really happy because I have known about the club’s interest in me for some time, and now I am ready to get to work.
“Here, it’s incredible. I think Atalanta is a great club, a great club in Italy, and that they play a great attacking football that they like so much and lends themselves to my characteristics. It was a simple decision to make.”
The Nigerian international winger also informed fans of his new club what to expect from. He added:
“Well, I would say that I am an explosive player, exciting; I like to score and assist. I like to create dangerous situations. For the rest I consider myself a chilled, relaxed guy.
“My desire here at Atalanta is to win as much as possible. I want to grow and do well, but at the same time, I want the team to grow also with my contribution because the value of the group is important.”
Lookman could make his debut for his new club on the 13th of this month when La Dea take on Sampdoria in their first Serie A game of the 2022-23 season.
