Ademola Lookman: Super Eagles Ballon d'Or nominee makes Serie A Team of the Month

Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman has been included in the Serie A Team of the Month for September 2024.

According to whoscored.com, the Nigerian international is the only Atalanta representative in a team heavily dominated by AC Milan, who has five players in the best XI.

Lookman's impressive performances for both club and country earned him this recognition.

He was a standout performer for Atalanta in September, contributing directly to three goals in four games across all competitions.

In Serie A, Lookman played a crucial role in Atalanta's comeback victory against Fiorentina, scoring a goal and assisting another in their thrilling 3-2 win.

However, his efforts weren't enough to prevent defeat in their 3-2 home loss to newcomers Como, but he did manage to convert a late penalty for the Black and Blues.

On the international stage, Lookman continued his good form, netting a brace for the Super Eagles in their convincing 3-0 victory against Benin Republic in the opening match of the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.

Lookman's inclusion in the Serie A Team of the Month is a testament to his recent performances.

He will be hoping to continue his scoring streak and help Atalanta achieve success in both domestic and continental competitions.
