Nigeria’s Ademola Lookman attracting interest from big clubs – William Troost-Ekong

Ademola Lookman William Troost Ekong

Nigeria captain William Troost-Ekong has confirmed that major clubs have expressed interest in Ademola Lookman following his impressive hat trick in the Europa League final.

Lookman, who has experienced a resurgence at Atalanta, is enjoying a remarkable season, establishing himself as a key player after struggling in the Premier League and Bundesliga.

Since joining Atalanta in 2022, the 27-year-old forward has made a significant impact, scoring 43 goals and providing 23 assists in 96 appearances.

His standout performance in the Europa League final, where he played a crucial role in ending Bayer Leverkusen’s unbeaten streak, has placed him firmly on the radar of top European clubs.

Troost-Ekong acknowledged the speculation surrounding Lookman’s future, noting that he indeed has high-profile suitors without naming specific clubs.

“He’s on fire now and a lot of promise is coming through,” Troost-Ekong told talkSPORT. “This season he’s been something else and at AFCON he was amazing.

“I would say he’s arguably our best player and arguably the best player in Africa right now. On December 16, there will be the [African Player of the Year] ceremony and I’m sure he’s going to win it.

“Everybody saw the hat trick in the Europa League final and then there were a lot of rumours about big clubs which I know to be true, but Atalanta weren’t ready for him to go.

“If I was any top club right now I’d want him, he’s a top professional and a great lad, so I’m a very big fan.”
