“Lookman Scores Goals But Doesn’t Follow Instructions” – Italian Expert Warns Napoli
Napoli have been cautioned against signing Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman, despite his strong form for Atalanta last season. Italian football analyst Marcelo Altamura believes Lookman struggles with tactical discipline and often ignores instructions on the pitch.
Instead, he advised the Serie A champions to go for Mattia Zaccagni and Dan Ndoye, whom he described as more reliable and better suited to Napoli’s system.
Speaking on 1 Station Radio, Altamura explained, “Zaccagni and Ndoye are solid players. Ndoye is fast, technical, and disciplined. Unlike Lookman, he follows instructions and fits into the team structure.”
He described Lookman as a gifted player who can score brilliant goals but tends to drift from the game plan. Lookman finished the 2024–25 Serie A season with 15 goals and 5 assists in 31 appearances, sparking interest from top clubs including Napoli.
