Ademola Lookman, a forward born on 20 October 1997 in England, is currently (at 27 years of age), playing his trade as a primary left winger for the Italian side Atalanta. Of average height for his position, Lookman is 1.74m (5ft 8in) tall, and fits into the lightweight category of footballers, weighing in at 71kg (11 stone, 2lb). He can usually be spotted wearing the number 11 jersey, showcasing his dedication to the winger's role. International recognition has favoured his heritage, and Lookman has found himself representing the Nigeria national team.
Financially speaking, his current market worth floats around a hearty €40.00m (approximately £34m), as singled out by Transfermarkt. It's noted that his binding contract with Atalanta is valid for a fair period of time, with 1 year and 9 months remaining, set to formally expire on 30th June 2026.
Turning the page back to his rookie days, Lookman broke onto the scene initially with Charlton Athletic, where during his 2015-16 debut season he featured in 24 games and netted five times. The following season saw him equal his goal tally in 21 outings. His green years were promising enough to earn him a move to Everton in the opening half of the 2016-17 season, with one goal in eight appearances. At Everton, his spell was interspersed with a fruitful loan to RB Leipzig in 2017-18, where another five goals were added to his tally in 11 appearances.
By 2018-2019, Lookman was back playing in the Everton jersey but moved once again to RB Leipzig in Germany for the 2019-2020 season. The nomadic nature of his early career continued, as he popped up next at Fulham for the 2020-21 season, returning to goal-scoring form by netting four goals in his 34 appearances. The following season, at Leicester City, saw Lookman deliver six goals in 26 appearances.
Finally, Lookman found his footing with Atalanta in Italy. Through the 2022 - 2023 season, he made 31 appearances and scored 13 goals. This feat was followed up by another strong season in 2023-2024, with 11 goals across 31 games. His current season (2024-2025) in-progress, sees Lookman having bagged two goals in just five games thus far. He's also represented Atalanta at the Africa CON in 2023, Europa League 2023 - 2024, UEFA Super Cup 24 - 2025, and Champions League 2024 - where he continued his goalscoring vein.
All in all, Ademola Lookman's career to date marks him as a potent forward with a keen eye for goal, representing teams across England, Germany and now Italy.
