Gasperini praises Lookman’s blistering start to life in Atlanta

Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini praised Ademola Lookman for his immediate impact at the Club.

Lookman arrived Atalanta during summer transfer window deadline day and quickly become instant hit at the club, netting in four games and providing one assist in ten league games this season.

While speaking on Radio Rai 1, Gasperini said, he’s impressed with the Nigerian’s adaptation at the club.

“Despite being a young guy, he has evolved. I give him five goals because he also scored at Monza. He’s a guy who grew up with Leipzig, he had experience in England.

“When he came to us I had the feeling of an evolved player who knows football and who immediately entered into our mechanisms,” Gasperini explained.

“He’s a settled player who doesn’t need any more time to make an extraordinary contribution.”

Lookman netted the winner against Sassuolo at Bergamo over the weekend.
