Lookman bagged his first appearance and goal as a Serie A footballer having substituted Luis Muriel, who failed to score over 63 minutes. He notched Atalanta’s consolation goal taking advantage of Sampdoria’s bad defensive tracking after their attempt to equalize.
Lookman who has been out of the Atalanta roster because of a nagging hip ailment was a late call up for Saturday’s game versus Sampdoria.
Lookman was curtailed by a muscle injury before transferring from German side, RB Leipzig, but he has recuperated very well.
He was always unlikely to see major minutes from the beginning of the season having missed out on his team’s friendlies.
It was always likely that the coach will look for ways to integrate Lookman in the rotations since possesses the skill-set to be a capable super-sub.
Lookman tallied six goals, 26 shots (12 on target), 23 chances and 18 crosses (two accurate) in 26 Premier League appearances with Leicester City last season.
