The former Italy striker appoints Lookman as the most entertaining player in the league

The former International of Italy, Christian Vieri, has pointed to Auseola Lookman as the most exciting player in series A, praising the striker for his brave attack style and his ability that changes the game.

While the defending champions between Milan prepare to face Atalanta from third place in a crucial confrontation of series A, the influence of Lookman in the highest Italian category continues to grow.

The Nigerian striker has been one of the outstanding artists this season, delivering dazzling exhibitions that have caught the attention of the best European clubs.

The former Italy striker, who had spells at Inter Milan, Juventus and AC Milan, shared his admiration for the Nigerian end in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport (through Football Italia).

Lookman enjoyed a sensational 2023/24 season, and this season he is following his advance of the campaign with an even greater number.

The 27 -year -old has already registered 24 goals and six assists in 31 appearances in all competitions, overcoming his best previous account.

In the interview, Vieri expressed his admiration for the look style of lookman, emphasizing his ability to face defenders with confidence.

“You see and think: ‘Oh, let’s see what he does now.’ There is no one like him in series A: every time he receives the ball, he becomes one by one, always.

It is fast and strong; Take the players, dribbles and shoot. Left foot or right foot, it doesn’t matter, “said Vieri.

Vieri was also asked about the statement of Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini, that Lookman was the worst penalty of the team.

When asked how he would have reacted to such a statement, the former Juventus and Inter Milan striker had a safe response.

“He couldn’t have done it, because it wasn’t true,” said Vieri. “I always say that you must receive a penalty if you feel like it. And if a teammate is approaching and says: ‘Sorry’, it is fair to leave it.

“The only ones who lose the penalties are those who take them, and if they are lost once, so it is.”

With Atalanta sitting only three points from the leaders of the League to Inter Milan and one behind Napoli in second place, the race for the title remains incredibly adjusted.

The result of Sunday’s clash between Inter and Atalanta could be fundamental to shape the rest of the season.

Meanwhile, the star performances of lookman have attracted the interest of the best European clubs, with Manchester City, Arsenal, Newcastle United, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports, everything he likes to sign it.

Atalanta has established a price of 60 million euros in the current African footballer of the year, whose contract with the club extends until June 2026.

Despite their current agreement, all indications suggest that Lookman could be in motion this summer, with several elite clubs anxious to ensure his signature.
