Lookman's name has been a talking point in the football world for a while now. In other words, he is one of the players who has been following Atlanta's rise. He is no longer a young player but is now 27 years old, the age when he is expected to show his best, to reach his peak form.

Lookman plays for the Nigerian national team, but his origin is England. He was born in Wandsworth, London. He started his training at Waterloo. His parents are Nigerian immigrants. He later played for Charlton Athletic as a youth player and made his senior debut for Charlton in 2015. Many people probably noticed him when he played for Everton. He did not settle in the team and could not show his best form and potential. He was also 20 years old when he arrived at Everton. Some players are not as good as they thought they were when they were young, but over time they get better, they improve and they show their best form and their full potential when they reach their full potential. Jamie Vardy is a prime example.

He spent more time on loan at Leipzig than at Everton. Then he ended up at Leipzig. He didn't get his best there either. He started to show his potential when he was on loan at Fulham. He also played for Leicester City and he wasn't bad.

He showed his best form when he joined Atalanta in 2022 and came under the guidance of coach Gasparini. During this time, he showed what he was capable of with his explosiveness, directness and good decisions. What makes him a great player is his perfect style of play. He is explosive, fast, direct, He is a threat with his shots and is good at keeping the ball in close quarters, but his impact is much more than that.

Luke Manning is a player who will cause problems for opposing defenses. Due to his one-on-one passing ability, opponents need at least two defenders to contain him. In addition, he needs to create zonal blocks. If he is clever, he can make opponents shake up the ball as well as he can. He can also make direct passes, but he is also a player who can make opponents defenders lose their formation and cause trouble.

He can move the defense, which is blocked by people and zonal blocks, to create space and free up his own attackers. Another great feature of his is that he can play on both the left and right. This is very strong. This is due to Gasparini's system, The support of his teammates is also a big part of it.

Although he was born in London, England, he chose to represent the African team Nigeria, which is a very comfortable position for him. England, as we know, can bring a lot of unwanted pressure. Especially for African players, they often suffer from racism and incompetence. Last season, Longman scored 11 goals and provided 8 assists in 31 Serie A games, and also played 11 games in the Europa League, scoring 5 goals and providing 1 assist. That's a really good record. Especially as a winger. He can also make some beautiful shots and provide clever passes to his teammates.

This season, he is in the Champions League, and he has scored 3 goals and provided 1 assist in 5 games. He has also played 14 games in Serie A, scoring 9 goals and providing 4 assists. Besides, what should be recognized more than the goals and assists is the space he creates in the team's play and the participation in the game. It is not surprising that a player like him has won the African Player of the Year award. He is 27 years old and his next 3-4 years of being in top form are the most important. It would not be surprising if another big club approaches him at this time. A young player who has spent time on loan at many clubs, he has shown what he is at the age of 27.
