Serie A: AC Milan icon tips Ademola Lookman to make the difference as Atalanta face Juventus

By Wale Mustapha

Former AC Milan midfielder Christian Brocchi believes Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman could be the game-changer for Atalanta when they face Juventus in Sunday’s Serie A clash.

Lookman has been in sensational form this season, scoring 12 goals in the Italian top-flight, and has become a key player for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side.

Brocchi recounted Lookman’s pace, trickery, and ability to deliver in crucial moments, making him the player to watch in the matchup against Juventus.

“At the moment, Lookman is Atalanta’s difference maker,” Brocchi said.

“He is fast, his final ball is good, and in 1-v-1 situations, he can either finish himself or set up a teammate.

“He is a complete player who breaks up the game. He could be decisive, maybe with a goal, but also with his movement and his setup play for Retegui,” he added.
