Lookman made his senior debut in 2015, playing as a forward for Charlton Athletic of the Championship.

He signed for Everton in January 2017, where he played mainly as a winger.

Ademola Lookman made his debut for the Merseyside club ten days later in a 4-0 victory over Manchester City, replacing Ross Barkley in the 90th minute and scoring the team's fourth goal.

Lookman also made his first European appearance for Everton in a 1-0 win over MFK Ruzomberok in the Europa League third qualifying round first leg.

Eventually, he would be loaned out to Bundesliga club, RB Leipzig in the 2018 January Transfer window.

In his first game with Leipzig, Lookman scored the winning goal in the away game against Borussia Monchengladbach after coming on as a late substitute.

In July 2019, Lookman returned to RB Leipzig on a five-year contract, before being loaned out  to Premier League side Fulham on a season-long loan in September 2020.

He would eventually go on another season-long loan at Leicester City in August 2021.

 However, a year later, Lookman joined Serie A club Atalanta on a four-year contract for a reported fee of €15 million.

Lookman scored on his debut for the club, a 2-0 Serie A win over Sampdoria on 13 August.

 In January 2023, he scored braces in three consecutive matches: a 8-2 Serie A win over Salernitana, a 5-2 Coppa Italia win over Spezia and a 3-3 Serie A draw with Juventus.

On 22 May 2024, he scored his first career hat-trick in the Europa League final in the Dublin Arena, as Atalanta defeated Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 to end their 51-game unbeaten run and win the trophy for the first time in history.

Additionally, he became the first ever player to score a hat-trick in a one-off Europa League final match.

In September 2024, Lookman became the first current Atalanta player to be nominated for Ballon d'Or and ended up finishing 14th in the world ahead of players like Bukayo Saka of Arsenal and Cole Palmer of Chelsea.

On December 13, 2024, Lookman was named in the final shortlist of the 2024 CAF Player of the Year award.

He was also selected for the CAF Team of the AFCON 2023 Tournament after proving instrumental to the Super Eagles' run to the final against hosts and eventual winners Ivory Coast.

Ademola Lookman also ranked no.1 in 2024 edition of Pulse Sports 30 - a yearly edition by Pulse Sports ranking the 30 best Nigerian players in the world.

In February 2025, Ademola Lookman made the headlines after Gian Piero Gasperini’s disparaging remarks about him following Atalanta's Champions League play-off round exit to Club Brugge. 

Lookman, who came on a second half substitute seemed inspired, as the Super Eagles star scored in the opening minutes of the second half, sparking a possible comeback.

Invigorated by the goal, Atalanta charged for another and won a penalty for their troubles.

The 2024 CAF Player of the Year winner stepped up to take the spot kick but saw his attempt comfortably saved by Simon Mignolet.

Speaking after the game, Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini controversially zeroed in on Lookman’s penalty miss by accusing him of glory hunting and being a 'terrible penalty taker'. 

Hours after Gasperini's comments and the reactions that followed, Ademola Lookman took to social media to release a statement.

 “It saddens me on a day like this to have to write this statement most of all because of what we have achieved together as a team and as a city,” Lookman said in his statement.“

"Being singled out in the manner I have been not only hurts but feels deeply disrespectful, not least because of the immense hard work and commitment I have always put in each and every day to help bring success to this club and to the incredible fans of Bergamo.

“In truth, I have dealt with many difficult moments during my time here, the majority of which I have never spoken about because, in my opinion, the team must always be protected and must come first. This makes what happened last night even more hurtful.

“Along with our incredible fans, we as a team are hurting too with last night's result. During the match, the designated penalty taker instructed me to take the penalty and to support the team, I took responsibility in the moment to do so. Life's about challenges and turning pain into power, which I'll continue to do.”

Lookman received his first international call-up when he was named in the England U19 squad named for Mexico.

Lookman turned down Nigeria again in early 2018 after meeting with the president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

He subsequently rejected Nigeria's approaches for a third time in September 2018, after England senior manager Gareth Southgate convinced him that he was part of his plans.

Despite his impressive caps and success for England at youth level, and having previously rejected Nigeria's approaches, in January 2020 the Nigeria Football Federation announced that Lookman would be switching his international allegiance to Nigeria.

However, Lookman reportedly stated: "I've not changed my mind on wanting to represent England".

 On 10 February 2022, Lookman's request to represent the Nigerian national team was approved by FIFA.

Lookman made his debut for the Super Eagles of Nigeria on 25 March 2022, in their goalless draw with Ghana as part of the third round of the African section of qualification for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

 He scored both goals for Nigeria in their 2-0 win over Cameroon in the round of 16, before scoring their only goal in a 1-0 win over Angola in the quarter-final.
