Atalanta head coach Raffaele Palladino has described Ademola Lookman as an essential asset for the club.

Lookman was on target in Atalanta’s 2-0 win over Fiorentina at the Gewiss Stadium on Sunday night, scoring La Dea’s second goal of the game.

Waploaded recalls that Lookman also scored in Atalanta’s 3-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt last Wednesday.

“He’s having a strong offensive phase, but I emphasize his defensive commitment: he’s 100% in the game. I’m happy for his goals; he’s an essential asset,” Palladino was quoted by Tutto Atalanta.

Lookman has registered three goals and one assist in 13 appearances across all competitions for Atalanta this season.
