‘Lookman moves between the lines’ - USG manager warns his players to look out for Super Eagles star

Lookman has been in impressive form for the Italian side under coach Raffaele Palladino, overcoming a slow start to the season. 

The 28-year-old has contributed one goal and two assists in his last three Champions League matches.

Lookman cameo after retruning from the Africa Cup of Nations in Atalanta's win over Parma last weekend.

During a pre-match press conference, Hubert singled out Lookman's intelligent play and positioning as a major concern for his defence.

"Lookman moves between the lines, De Ketelaere creates play, provides depth, and is intelligent. But we don't play only against them," Hubert stated, as reported by Tutto Atalanta.

"For us, winning is our last chance, and against Atalanta, who have some weaknesses to exploit, we want to do so," he added.

Hubert also called for tactical discipline from his players, noting Atalanta's potent attacking style, especially from the wide areas.

"We need to not rush and stick to our game plan, adapting to an opponent who plays a lot down the wings and is very attacking," he concluded.

To secure a place in the next round, Union Saint-Gilloise will need to successfully contain Lookman and execute their strategy to achieve a vital victory.
