Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has shared his admiration for Ademola Lookman, the in-form Super Eagles forward. Following Real Madrid’s victory over Atalanta in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup, Bellingham praised Lookman, whose hat trick in the Europa League final led Atalanta to a 3-0 win against Bayer Leverkusen.
Bellingham, who is currently a contender for the Ballon d’Or, acknowledged the challenge of facing Lookman. “We had to prepare for them, and they have got some amazing talents,” Bellingham said after the Super Cup match. “Ademola Lookman, who I’m a big fan of, is one of them, and we had to prepare for him because he’s really good at one-on-ones.”
Lookman, who previously played in the Premier League with Everton, has been making waves with his performances in Italy. If Arsenal were to pursue him, it would mark his return to the Premier League after a stint with the Toffees, where he scored four goals.
