Best club for him — Ademola Lookman urged to follow Osimhen's footsteps with next move

Atalanta's Ademola Lookman has been one of the best players in Italy since arriving from Leipzig back in 2022.

The crowning moment of his time in Bergamo was the stunning hat-trick in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen.

He was crowned CAF Player of the Year and has been attracting interest from Europe's biggest clubs.

Speaking on the Nigerian's future, ex-Atalanta player German Denis believes Lookman should embrace a move to Napoli, following in the footsteps of another Nigerian superstar Victor Osimhen.

In an interview with Radio Goal, as cited by Napoli Magazine, Denis lauded Lookman’s development and game-changing ability.

"Lookman would be perfect for Napoli, he has had impressive growth," Denis said.

"He has become a champion and today he makes a difference. He is a player who would be great at Napoli."

Lookman has also drawn keen interest from Barcelona, and with his contract expiring in 2026, Atalanta might consider cashing in.

Recent reports from Spain indicate that Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is a huge fan of the Nigerian and is eager to bring him to the club. However, it’s uncertain if Barcelona will pursue a deal, as they remain focused on signing Liverpool’s Luis Díaz.
