Lookman Seeks 10th Goal of the Season as Atalanta Face AS Roma in Serie A
Ademola Lookman is set to return to action as Atalanta face AS Roma at the iconic Stadio Olimpico in what promises to be a thrilling Serie A encounter.
The Nigerian international, who has been in sensational form this season, will aim to reach a personal milestone by scoring his 10th goal of the campaign.
Lookman, 27, has already found the back of the net nine times across all competitions, proving to be a crucial attacking force for La Dea.
His impressive performances have made him one of Atalanta’s standout players this season.
The winger was rested during the team’s emphatic 6-1 victory over Swiss side Young Boys in their last European outing, giving him fresh legs for today’s clash.
Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini is expected to name Lookman in the starting lineup against AS Roma, a side known for their tactical discipline under manager José Mourinho.
Lookman’s pace, creativity, and goal-scoring ability could be key in breaking down Roma’s defense.
Atalanta head into this fixture in scintillating form, boasting an unbeaten streak of 12 matches in all competitions.
This consistency has propelled them to second place in the Serie A standings, with 28 points from 13 games.
Gasperini’s team has combined solid defensive displays with clinical attacking performances, making them serious contenders in the league this season.
Their opponents, AS Roma, present a formidable challenge, especially on home turf.
Roma, led by Mourinho, are renowned for their defensive organization and ability to thrive in high-pressure matches.
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf speaks on recent league matches and names two clubs that can really challenge Arsenal this season, Manchester City and Chelsea.
During a recent interview when speaking about Arsenal, he shared “They are still the big favourites [for the title], but they will have to prove it. They lost four points against Sunderland and Chelsea. Manchester City are back, Chelsea are still there.”
“We will have the winter period, which will start very soon, so let’s see,” he said.
