Lookman v Thuram and Lautaro Martinez: Two stats that put him ahead of 2022 World Cup stars

Statistically, Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman is one of the decisive players in the 2024-2025 Serie A season.

The 2017 Fifa U20 World Cup winner with England has tallied thirteen goals and produced five assists in twenty-three matches, so far this season. 

According to information from Tutto Atalanta, Lookman has touched the ball 158 times in the opponent's area, more than any other player in the Italian top-flight, including 2022 World Cup stars Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez.

The Inter Milan center forwards have netted a combined 24 goals this season, with the Frenchman contributing 13—matching Lookman's tally.

This season, Lookman has directly created five goal-scoring opportunities through his dribbles, a feat matched only by AC Milan's Rafael Leão and Venezia's Gaetano Oristanio, with Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martínez failing to make the top three.

His ability to glide past opponents makes him a vital attacking force, turning tight defensive setups into open scoring situations.

Beyond his dribbling prowess, Lookman has developed a remarkable connection with Fiorentina.

In every league fixture he has played against them so far, he has found the back of the net—four out of four matches.

This weekend, he has the opportunity to equal an impressive milestone set by Alexandre Pato, who scored in each of his first five Serie A encounters against Fiorentina.
