Lookman eyes Gunners’ scalp in UCL opener

Lookman, who scored the winning goal in Atalanta’s recent 3-2 victory against Fiorentina, expressed his excitement about the challenge ahead.

“We’re very pleased to be in the Champions League this season. We deserved that and have to demonstrate it. Arsenal are a very strong team, and I know what to expect from them,” he said in a recent interview.

Being a former player of Everton, Fulham, and Leicester makes the Nigerian no stranger to Arsenal and is eager to prove his quality on the European stage.

Atalanta secured their spot in the Champions League by winning the Europa League last season, thus returning to Europe’s elite club competition after a two-year absence.

Their memorable run in the Europa League culminated in a 3-0 demolition of Bayer Leverkusen in the final, with Lookman etching his name in the club’s folklore by scoring a hat-trick that won them the trophy. Now, La Dea will be hoping to carry that momentum into this season’s Champions League campaign, starting with Thursday’s clash with the Londoners.
