Former Real Madrid midfielder, Mutiu Adepoju, has predicted a bright future for Ademola Lookman following his move to Atletico Madrid. The Nigerian football legend said the winger has what it takes to succeed in Spain and make a strong impact in LaLiga.

Lookman completed his transfer to Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid earlier this week after leaving Serie A side Atalanta. Reacting to the move, Adepoju described the decision as brave and exciting, adding that it offers Lookman the right platform to display his quality and football intelligence.

According to Adepoju, Lookman’s pace, creativity and work rate will suit Atletico Madrid’s style of play. He believes the Super Eagles star will fit well into Simeone’s system and contribute positively to the team’s domestic and European ambitions this season.

Lookman could make his first appearance for Atletico Madrid when they face Real Betis in the Copa del Rey. Fans will be eager to see how the Nigerian international adapts as he begins a new chapter in his career in Spanish football.
