Ademola Lookman has kept on delivering for Atalanta, he was on the scoresheet in their last weekend’s 4-0 thrashing of Juventus in Turin.
And Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini who vented his anger on his top striker after their exit from the UEFA Champions League said he is now happy and in good terms with Lookman.
“He and I have clashes, but then we make up because he is an extraordinary player who sometimes has a bit of individualism,” Gasperini said.
“However, I must say that in these years, he has truly embraced Atalanta, and before the end of the season, he will also wear the captain’s armband, which is a great gesture.”
Gasperini continued: “We live together for 300 days a year, and the important thing is to retrace your steps. With Papu now, we are very good friends again, and that’s part of life.”
He said Ademola Lookman is an even better player when he thinks more of the team
. “Lookman became a fantastic player when he thought more about the team,” he said
“He made Atalanta great, and Atalanta made him great.
“I am convinced that in the end, he will wear the captain’s armband and will truly carry Atalanta on his skin.”
Lookman who has been linked with a move back to England has netted 18 goals and provided seven assists in 31 appearances.
