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.”

Former footballer Paul Scholes condemns Martin Odegaard and speaks on his performance in the Arsenal team.

The football legend shared how it is the captain that is bringing the team down, as he is not playing his position properly “That game on Saturday [Arsenal vs Newcastle], I didn’t see all of it, I probably saw the first half an hour, but I think Odegaard is a big problem for them.”

“I love Odegaard, I think he’s brilliant. Technically, he’s great, but he doesn’t play his position properly. Half the time I saw him in the first 20 minutes, he was almost the deepest man.”

Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.

It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.

Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.

“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
