Lookman promises more Atalanta goals after season’s first strike vs Milan

Ademola Lookman Atalanta Milan goal 768x543 1

ADEMOLA Lookman is looking to get sharper in front of goal and and help Atalanta climb up in the Serie A table.

The Super Eagles forward scored his first goal of the season last night as Atalanta drew with AC Milan to stay in eighth spot in the Italian top flight.

Lookman struck with a fine left-footed effort from close range 10 minutes from half-time to equalise for Atalanta, who recorded a fifth straight draw in all competitions.

“It’s important to be available for the team, to help the team,” Lookman, who missed a few weeks of training in pre-season over a transfer row, told DAZN Italia.

“I’ve not been able to find form yet, physically or in front of goal, but I’ll get there eventually and this was a step forward in the right direction.

“Hopefully in the coming games we’ll be able to get some wins.”

Although Lookman has made it abundantly clear he does not want to talk about the past or what happened in recent months, he was asked if this was the night that finally made him happy to be with Atalanta.

“I think that when I’m on the pitch, the most important thing is to try to help the team win,” the Nigeria international responded.

“We want to keep climbing up the table and that’s the most important thing, to win football games.”

Lookman fell out with the Atalanta hierarchy after they blocked his proposed move to Inter Milan in the summer.
