Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini has hinted that Nigeria’s Super Eagles winger, Ademola Lookman, could be named the club captain before the season concludes.
Lookman played a key role in Atalanta’s emphatic 4-0 victory over Juventus, sealing the win with the fourth goal.
Despite past tensions between the two following Lookman’s penalty miss in the Champions League, Gasperini praised the winger’s development and impact on the team.
“Lookman became a fantastic player when he improved his perception of the team,” Gasperini stated.
“He used to have a more individual approach. He wasn’t a bad guy, but he mostly focused on himself.
“He made Atalanta great, and Atalanta made him great. I am convinced he can be the captain before the end of the season.”
