Nigeria's Ademola Lookman has continued to receive the recognition that his talent and performances have merited.

Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman has been included in the Serie A Team of the Month for September 2024.

According to whoscored.com, the Nigerian international is the only Atalanta representative in a team heavily dominated by AC Milan, who has five players in the best XI.

Lookman's impressive performances for both club and country earned him this recognition.

He was a standout performer for Atalanta in September, contributing directly to three goals in four games across all competitions.

In Serie A, Lookman played a crucial role in Atalanta's comeback victory against Fiorentina, scoring a goal and assisting another in their thrilling 3-2 win.
