Transfer: Atalanta boss rules out January move for Nigeria star Ademola Lookman

Atalanta coach, Gian Gasperini has dismissed a possible January transfer move for star forward, Ademola Lookman.

The Nigeria playmaker was ranked in the 14th position in the Ballon d’or ceremony on Monday night which was eventually won by Manchester City holding midfielder, Rodri.

Gasperini revealed Lookman was tempted to leave the Bergamo City in the summer which failed to materialize.

“Lookman tempted in the summer by PSG? No, it was not a good moment,” Gasperini was quoted by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Fourth placed Atalanta will face Monza in their next Serie A game on Wednesday, October 30.
