Atalanta dazzler Ademola Lookman named in Serie A Team of the Season

Nigeria international Ademola Lookman has been named in Whoscored’s Serie A Team of the Season following a standout campaign with Atalanta. 

The 27-year-old forward delivered an impressive return of 15 league goals and 61 key passes, ranking third in both categories among all players in Italy’s top flight.

Lookman, who joined Atalanta from RB Leipzig in 2022, continues to thrive in Bergamo and has become one of the most consistent attacking performers in Serie A. 

His Whoscored rating of 7.24 placed him among the league's elite, earning him a place alongside Inter's Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez in the attacking trio of the season's best XI.

The Super Eagles star played a vital role in Atalanta’s offensive structure, combining pace, creativity, and a keen eye for goal. 

His direct involvement in key attacking moments has also made him a target for top clubs, with reports suggesting he could be on the move this summer.

This latest recognition adds to Lookman’s growing reputation in European football and highlights his importance ahead of Nigeria’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers. 

He is expected to be a crucial asset for the Super Eagles as they aim for a return to the global stage.

WhoScored’s Team of the Season includes players from Napoli, Inter, Fiorentina, Torino, and Atalanta, with Napoli’s Scott McTominay named Serie A Player of the Season. 

Lookman’s inclusion reflects not only his goal contributions but also his all-round influence in attack, marking him as one of Africa’s top performers in Europe.
