Atalanta market, Ademola Lookman sends clear message to suitors
Great protagonist, with a goal, an assist and a goalpost, in Atalanta’s 3-0 Champions League victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, Ademola Lookman spoke on the sidelines of the match at Deutsche Bank Park about both the present and the recent past, characterized not only by the summer market tug-of-war and the often contentious relationship with the now former Nerazzurri coach, Ivan Juric.
His, in particular is an indirect message to suitors, such as Inter in the summer or, more recently, Roma: “What happened in the summer is part of the past – Lookman told the microphones of Sky Sport -. Some people know very well what happened, others do not. What is certain is that right now I am focused on where I am now and on winning as many games as possible with Atalanta”.
Lookman also spoke about the approach of Atalanta’s new coach, Raffaele Palladino: “He wants to play open and entertaining soccer, giving ample space to the offensive phase. He is determined and, like all of us players, he is here to win every game. Tonight we proved our worth”.
.
The goal scored on 60′, which opened the scoring against Eintracht Frankfurt, is Ademola Lookman’s first in this edition of the Champions League. Previously, the Nigerian national team striker had scored only once this season, in the league against AC Milan in the 1-1 draw in Bergamo last Oct. 28.
