Atalanta confirms Ademola Lookman transfer
Atalanta confirmed the signing of Lookman through an official press statement posted on their website on Thursday evening, welcoming the Super Eagles star to the Bergamo club.
Lookman most recently played for English Premier League side Leicester City where he enjoyed a decent 2021/22 season with eight (8) goals from 42 appearances for the Foxes.

The Nigerian international started his career at Charlton Athletic before securing an €8.8m transfer to Everton during the 2017 winter transfer window.
Via a loan to RB Leipzig in January 2018, Ademola Lookman completed a switch to the Bundesliga for €18m in June 2019.
Further loans at Fulham and Leicester City saw the 24-year-old establish himself as one of the rising stars in the attacking midfield and wing positions.
Lookman will be under the tutelage of Italian manager Gian Piero Gasperini at Atalanta with 21-year-old defender Caleb Okoli the only other Nigerian at the club.
The former RB Leipzig forward will battle with the likes of former Chelsea man Davide Zappacosta, Hans Hateboer, and Joakim Mahle for a starting spot at the Gewiss Stadium this season.
Lookman recently made his debut for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, coming on as a second-half substitute during the first leg of the World Cup qualifier against the Black Stars of Ghana in March 2022.
