Nigerian star Ademola Lookman has completed his much-anticipated transfer to Spanish La Liga club Atletico Madrid.
In an official club statement from the Spanish outfit, it said Lookman has signed a four-year contract.
“Atlético de Madrid and Atalanta have agreed on the transfer of Ademola Lookman, who has signed for us until 30 June 2030.
“Our new signing passed his medical at the Vithas-Invictum High-Performance Sports Medicine Centre at Arturo Soria University Hospital in Madrid, before heading to the club offices at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. There, he was greeted by our Chief Executive Officer, Miguel Ángel Gil, with whom he signed his contract with our club. Welcome, Lookman!” Atletico Madrid said.

Lookman, 28, is a versatile winger who is dominant with his right foot but can equally cause problems with his left foot.
The Nigerian is capable of playing both as a second striker and as a winger on either flank, either cutting inside or staying on his natural side, where he makes the most of his pace and dribbling ability.
His arrival at Atletico Madrid boosts the squad of Diego Simeone as the team looks to end the season with a trophy.
