In an impressive repeat performance, Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman has been named Atalanta B.C.’s Player of the Season for the 2023/24 campaign, retaining the prestigious title he won the previous year.
The competition was intense, culminating in a tie that necessitated an overtime runoff and an Instagram profile showdown to determine the winner. Lookman’s remarkable contribution of 17 goals and 11 key passes in various competitions, securing his position as the team’s second-highest scorer and assist provider, was pivotal in earning him the ItalianOptic branded crown.
A highlight of his season was the stunning hat-trick he delivered in the “magical Dublin final,” which significantly bolstered his claim to the award.
The club announced, “It’s him again, Ademola Lookman!” in an enthusiastic statement on their website.
Midfielders Éderson and Teun Koopmeiners rounded out the podium, finishing in second and third places, respectively. Despite not winning, Éderson’s performance across 52 matches was lauded for its consistency. The club acknowledged his seven goals and described his season as a testament to his perseverance.
Koopmeiners, a familiar face on the ItalianOptic podium, had a stellar season with 3930 minutes played over 51 games. His 22-goal contribution, including 15 goals and 7 assists, was vital to the team, particularly his 12 goals scored in away games.
