Atalanta’s new head coach, Stefano Palladino, has hailed Ademola Lookman as a key player for the club following the winger’s impressive performances in Serie A. Palladino praised Lookman’s speed, creativity, and ability to change games, calling him one of the most important assets in the team. The Nigerian international has quickly adapted to the new coach’s style and is already making a big impact on the pitch.

Lookman has been consistent in contributing to goals and assists since joining Atalanta, and Palladino believes his presence inspires confidence in the squad. “He has a great mentality and always works hard during training and matches. Lookman is crucial for our attacking plans,” Palladino said in a recent press briefing.

The coach also highlighted Lookman’s versatility, noting that the winger can play in multiple positions across the front line. Palladino explained that having a player with such adaptability gives Atalanta more tactical options, especially in tight games against tough Serie A opponents.

With Lookman leading the attack, Atalanta aims to climb the league table and challenge stronger teams in Italy. Palladino emphasized that the team will rely on Nigerian talent and collective effort to achieve success this season, with Lookman expected to play a pivotal role in the club’s ambitions.
