Ademola Lookman: Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, and Juventus eye Super Eagles AFCON star

Ademola Lookman has caught the eye of European giants Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, and Juventus. The Super Eagles sensation's journey, from an uncertain future at Leicester City to becoming a vital cog at Serie A's Atalanta, is nothing short of a football fairytale. 

Two years back, when Leicester City showed him the door post his loan spell, Lookman found solace back at RB Leipzig, only to make a game-changing move to Atalanta, which has since been his stage to shine.

Last season, Lookman dazzled fans and critics alike, netting 13 goals and setting up eight in 31 Serie A outings. The current campaign sees him continuing his rich vein of form, contributing significantly with seven goals and three assists across 18 matches. 

His prowess on the field has not only been a boon for Atalanta but has also seen him become a linchpin for Nigeria, especially at the AFCON, where his stellar contributions include three goals and one assist in five appearances.

The buzz around Lookman isn't just for his on-field exploits; as per insights from football analyst Ekrem Konur, the striker's future is a hot topic in the transfer market. Currently valued at €30 million, with a contract running for a little over two years at Atalanta, it's speculated that his price tag could soar if he keeps up his impressive performances.
