Ademola Lookman made Nigeria and Nigerians proud with his man-of-the-match display for Atalanta against Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final.
Lookman to join Mbappe at Real Madrid?
The 26-year-old etched his name in the history books by becoming the first player to score both a brace and a hat-trick in a European final, as Atalanta thrashed Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 to claim their maiden European title.
Now, according to a detailed analysis by the renowned data analytics group SciSports, Real Madrid have emerged as the ideal destination for Lookman to take his career to the next level.
Using their advanced Career Advice tool, which factors in various parameters such as potential development, playing time, formation, and playing style, SciSports has given Real Madrid a staggering club fit score of 89 for Lookman – the highest among all the clubs evaluated.
This puts the 14-time Champions League winners ahead of Lookman's current club Atalanta (88), as well as other potential suitors like Liverpool (82), RB Leipzig (81), and Brentford (80) per footballtransfers.
The report suggests that Lookman's skill set and playing style would make him the perfect partner for Kylian Mbappe, who is widely expected to join Real Madrid in the upcoming transfer window.
The prospect of the Nigerian international linking up with the French superstar could leave Nigerian and Super Eagles fans dreaming of a formidable attacking duo.
With Lookman's rising stock and Real Madrid's reputation for attracting the best talents in world football, this potential transfer could be a match made in heaven.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on the Spanish capital to see if Lookman's dream move to the Bernabeu becomes a reality.
