Ademola Lookman: Europa League Hat-trick hero and Europe’s most wanted

Ademola Lookman, the Nigerian international, delivered a stellar performance in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen, drawing attention from top European clubs.

The Atalanta forward, who scored a historic hat-trick in the 3-0 victory, is now in high demand.

This achievement made him the first African player to net a hat-trick in a European competition final.

Lookman, who started his career at Everton at 18, has had a series of loan spells before proving his worth at Atalanta.

His outstanding season, scoring 17 goals in 45 appearances, has positioned him as a valuable asset, leading to potential transfers.

Bayern Munich is among the clubs showing interest, and Atalanta has set a transfer price between 25 and 30 million euros.

The Italian club acknowledges his talent but insists on a substantial fee, especially after his remarkable Europa League final performance.
