His impressive form played a key role as the Nerazzurri returned to UEFA’s elite competition after memorably lifting their first European trophy last season when they were the only team to defeat ‘invincible’ Bayern Leverkusen, winning 3-0 in the Europa League final.
Lookman scored a hat-trick in the final to condemn Xabi Alonso’s side to their only defeat of the 2023/24 season, thus becoming the first player to score a Europa League final treble.
The 26-year-old has started this campaign where he left off last season and despite missing Atalanta’s first three games, the Nigerian returned to the team against Fiorentina in blistering form.
The Nigeria international scored the decisive goal and provided an assist, helping Atalanta secure a crucial win, a performance that earned him Serie A’s best player for round four.
Four days later, he is set to face Arsenal who have shown interest in him in the past.
