Ademola Lookman has been named the best performing player in Serie A for Round 11, earning top honours above some of the league’s biggest names.
The Nigerian international’s remarkable display in Atalanta’s dominant 3-0 victory over Napoli earned him that spot, footballrover reports.
The Super Eagles star was able to surpass Lautaro Martínez and 24 other standout players.
But what exactly made Ademola stand out in a weekend full of exciting performances? Here’s a closer look at how he achieved this prestigious recognition.
Why Lookman deserves the recognition as Serie A player of the week
Lookman’s remarkable display included a first-half brace that left Napoli struggling to contain Atalanta’s attacking threat.
His contributions were not only crucial to the outcome of the match but also highlighted his growing importance to his side.
Despite strong performances from other stars, including Lautaro Martínez and Hellas Verona’s Casper Tengstedt, it was Ademola who claimed the top spot with an impressive player rating of 8 from Italian sports papers.
This recognition places Lookman ahead of 24 other notable players in Serie A, including his Atalanta teammate Isak Hien, who also earned a solid 7.5/10 rating.
The Super Eagles forward’s ability to dictate play and remain a constant threat in front of goal stood out, especially in a match that saw Atalanta defeat the table-toppers at the Stadio Maradona.
Lookman’s performance in Round 11 reflects not only his technical ability but also his consistency in Serie A this season.
His ability to shine against a top-tier opponent like Napoli shows why he is one of the most formidable players in the world right now and not just in Italy’s top division.
