Lookman becomes second highest Nigerian scorer in Serie A history

Ademola Lookman has further solidified his status as one of Nigeria’s standout performers in Serie A, climbing to second place on the all-time scoring chart for Nigerian players in the league. 

His brace against Empoli on Sunday took his Serie A goal tally to 36, trailing only Victor Osimhen, who leads with an impressive 65 goals. 

Lookman’s stellar display came just days after a public disagreement with manager, Gian Piero Gasperini, following Atalanta’s Champions League exit. 

However, despite the controversy, the Nigerian forward showcased his resilience and class, netting twice in Atalanta’s commanding 5-0 victory over Empoli.
