“Lookman Is Among the Best in Europe and the World” – Gasperini
Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini has hailed Ademola Lookman as one of the finest footballers in the world, praising the Nigerian winger’s remarkable growth and consistency since his arrival at the club.
Lookman joined Atalanta from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig in 2022 and has since flourished, becoming a key figure in the Bergamo-based team.
The 27-year-old winger’s impressive performances this season have captured global attention.
With 12 goals and five assists in 19 appearances across all competitions, Lookman has been instrumental in Atalanta’s campaign.
Lookman’s form also earned him significant recognition off the pitch.
In 2024, he was ranked 14th in the prestigious Ballon d’Or awards, placing him among the world’s elite players.
Additionally, he was crowned Africa’s best player.
Gasperini expressed admiration for Lookman’s progress and highlighted his importance to the team.
“Ademola is a top player,” Gasperini said.
“In terms of character, there are players with more consistency, but that’s understandable given the demands of his role.
He always needs to be at his peak physically, but he’s become an extraordinary player.
He’s now among the best in Europe and the world.”
The manager also emphasized how Lookman has elevated his game by improving his consistency, which has allowed him to shine in Atalanta’s competitive system.
“He’s not just talented; he’s crucial for Atalanta,” Gasperini added.
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.”
It has been reported that a four-year ban has been placed on Chelsea’s player, Mykhailo Mudryk, for anti-doping violations.
The player appealed in court on February 25 but has now been handed his punishment, which is a four-year ban from football.
It can be recalled that his last appearance on the field was on November 28, 2024.
