Europa League: In-form Lookman nominated for Player of the Week

In-form Atalanta winger, Ademola Lookman has been nominated for the Europa League Player of the Week award.

Lookman put up an impressive showing as the Italian side sealed a place in the final of the UEFA Europa League courtesy of a 3-0 victory over Olympic Marseille on Thursday night.

He capped the performance with a goal.

The Super Eagles forward rounded up the Marseille defence after he was set up by Charles De Ketelaere.

Lookman then turned provider, teeing up Matteo Ruggeri for Atalanta’s second on 52 minutes.

The 26-year-old now has 20 goal involvements for Atalanta this season (12 goals and eight assists).

Lookman will battle AS Roma’s Mile Svilar for the individual accolade.

Atalanta will face Bayer Leverkusen in the final in Dublin on Wednesday, May 22.
