Ademola Lookman will be the focal point when Atalanta hosts Arsenal in a UEFA Champions League match at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo on Thursday (today).
Lookman played a key role in Atalanta’s UEFA Europa League final victory over Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen last season.
The 26-year-old netted an impressive hat-trick in that match.
The Nigerian international made a significant impression in his first Serie A start against Fiorentina on Sunday.
The former Leicester City player contributed a goal and an assist, helping La Dea break their two-game winless run.
Lookman has also scored a goal in the Champions League while playing for the German club RB Leipzig.
A strong performance against the Gunners would further boost his position as a leading candidate for the African Player of the Year award.
