What weโre witnessing with Ademola Lookman is more than just a player in form; itโs the emergence of a top-tier forward in one of Europeโs toughest leagues. His performance against AC Milan was yet another chapter in a season in which heโs not just impressed but transformed into a key weapon for Atalanta.
Letโs face it Nigeriaโs forward options have often been a talking point, especially concerning consistency at club level. Lookman is answering that call emphatically. With 13 goals and five assists in Serie A, heโs no longer just a prospect heโs delivering week in, week out, in matches that matter.
As for Chukwueze, his season at Milan has been mixed. The flashes of brilliance are there, but heโs still finding his rhythm in the Rossoneri setup. We know his quality, but the real challenge now is breaking through the squad depth and proving heโs more than just an impact substitute.
Both players are vital to the Super Eaglesโ future, and their presence in Italyโone thriving, the other pushingโoffers a compelling storyline. We need to celebrate these moments while continuing to hold our stars to the high standards theyโre capable of reaching.
Because if Lookmanโs season has taught us anything, itโs this: when Nigerian talent meets the right system, the results are world-class.
