Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman has credited Serie A club Atalanta for playing a crucial role in his impressive rise to football stardom.

After a challenging start to his career, Lookman’s move to Atalanta in 2022 proved to be the turning point he needed.

Before joining the Italian club, Lookman struggled to find his footing in the Premier League, having stints at Everton, Fulham, and Leicester City without making a significant impact.

His time at Bundesliga side RB Leipzig also proved difficult, and for a while, it seemed as though his potential might go unfulfilled.

However, everything changed when Lookman made the move to Atalanta.

In just a short time, he transformed into one of the most exciting forwards in Europe, a feat that culminated in him being named Africa’s best player during the prestigious awards ceremony in Marrakech, Morocco.

Reflecting on his success, Lookman explained that the environment at Atalanta has been key to his development.

“The environment that the club provided for me has been a huge factor in my growth as a player,” he shared in an interview with Flashscore.

“It’s not just about my personal belief in myself, but also about the perfect timing.

I’ve always known I could achieve great things, and now, the time has come.”

Nigerian midfielder David Moses has officially signed with Slavia Prague, a major club in the Czech Republic.

The 20-year-old talent makes this move from MFK Karviná, another Czech side, in a transfer that could significantly shape his young career.

Moses has inked a contract that runs until December 31, 2029.

Reflecting on his transfer, Moses expressed enthusiasm for the opportunity ahead.

“This is a huge step for me and a real challenge,” he shared on the club’s official website.

“Slavia Prague is the best team in the Czech Republic, and I’m eager to make my mark here and contribute to the team’s success.”

Though he hasn’t yet played at Slavia’s iconic Eden Arena, he’s already heard plenty about the passionate fanbase.

“I’ve heard so much about the incredible supporters here, and I can’t wait to play in front of them,” he added.

Slavia Prague, based in Prague, is one of the most decorated clubs in Czech football.

Known for their high standards, the team is a significant step up for Moses, providing him with the perfect platform to develop and showcase his skills.

Former Head Coach of Super Eagles, Jose Peseiro states that he has yet to identify his next move after leaving the team. The ex manager left the Super Eagles team due to his contract expiration in February.

Peseiro reveals that he has many discussions with teams but has yet to hear a response from any of them. “I have received several offers from national teams and clubs, but so far there has been no agreement with any of them.”
