Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman has been named in the Serie A team of the week for the just-concluded game week, Soccernet.ng reports.
Lookman missed Atalanta’s first three games of the league campaign due to serious transfer talks linking him with a move to French champions Atalanta and Premier League club Arsenal.
However, he returned to action last week in Atalanta’s Serie A clash against Fiorentina at the Gewiss Stadium on Sunday.
The 26-year-old turned out to be the x-factor for La Dea, as he scored one and assisted another to help them to a 3-2 victory, their second win in the league this season.
Following Lookman’s performance, he has been named in the Serie A team of the week. The former Leicester City man completes a forward line that consists of Romelu Lukaku and Florian Thauvin.
The midfield has Christian Pulisic, Youssouf Fofana, Iling Junior Samuel, and Mateo Zaccagni. Then the defense is made up of Denzel Dumfries, Theo Hernandez, and Alessandro Buongiorno. The starting eleven is completed by Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret.
AC Milan and Napoli have the most players in the team of the week after registering 4-0 wins in last week. However, Samuel Chukwueze got only eleven minutes of action for Milan and failed to register any goal contribution.
