The Super Eagles forward has been in exceptional form this season, scoring 10 goals and setting up five in all competitions this season for La Dea, recently hitting a late winning goal against AC Milan to send Gian Piero Gasperini’s men top of Serie A. 

Despite previous spells in the Premier League with Everton, Fulham, and Leicester City, where he showed glimpses of potential but lacked consistency, Lookman has thrived in Italy under Gasperini's system at Atalanta.

Are there Premier League doubts about Lookman?

However, his success in Serie A has raised questions about whether his form can translate back to the Premier League, as per Give Me Sport.

Lookman's role at Atalanta is unique, and it remains to be seen if he can adapt to different tactical setups. 

Despite these uncertainties, the report suggests that Lookman is open to a return to England, encouraging interested clubs, but they remain cautious about whether he can replicate his current form outside of Gasperini's system.  

What next for Lookman?

A summer transfer seems more likely than a move in January, as clubs continue to monitor the Nigerian’s progress and assess his potential impact in the Premier League.

Lookman is next in action when Atalanta take on Real Madrid in the Champions League on December 10 (today).
