Ademola Lookman: Super Eagles forward claims another Baller of the Week award

Atalanta's Ademola Lookman has been named the Baller of the Week for the second consecutive time after his outstanding display against Napoli in Serie A.

The 27-year-old forward's remarkable performance, which included two goals, played a pivotal role in Atalanta's emphatic 3-0 victory over the league leaders, marking another impressive moment in his career.

Lookman’s heroics not only earned him the Man of the Match award but also solidified his status as Nigeria’s standout performer over the weekend.

His two goals came within the first half hour of the match, showcasing his exceptional skill and finishing ability.

This victory handed Napoli their second defeat of the season, ending their impressive ten-game unbeaten streak.

In a competitive field, Lookman outshone compatriots and Super Falcons players Monday Gift and Ifeoma Onumonu, who also had commendable performances in Spain and France.

Gift scored one goal and one assist, with Onumonu matching that feat, but neither could match Lookman’s decisive impact against Napoli.

With this latest accolade, Lookman continues to build on his impressive form this season, having already netted six goals and provided four assists in just eight league appearances.

His contributions have not only made him a key player for Atalanta but have also positioned him as a leading contender for the CAF African Footballer of the Year award.

As Lookman revels in his achievements, he remains focused on maintaining his momentum as Atalanta prepares for upcoming challenges in both domestic and European competitions.

His current form reflects a player at the peak of his abilities, eager to lead his club and country to further success.
