Champions League: All eyes on Lookman as Atalanta, Arsenal clash in Bergamo

Ademola Lookman will be the centre of attraction when Atalanta host Arsenal in a UEFA Champions League clash at the Gewiss Stadium, Bergamo on Thursday (today).

Lookman was the star of Atalanta’s UEFA Europa League final win against Bundesliga champions, Bayer Leverkusen last season.

The 26-year-old scored a remarkable hat-trick in that encounter.

The Nigeria international made a huge impact on his first Serie A start against Fiorentina on Sunday.

The former Leicester City star registered one goal and one assist in the encounter to help La Dea put an end to their two-game winless streak.

Lookman has scored one goal in the Champions League during his time with German club, RB Leipzig.

Another solid showing against the Gunners will enhance his status as the top contender for the African Player of the Year award.
