Nigerian footballer Ademola Lookman has been nominated for the prestigious Serie A Forward of the Year award at the Gran Gala del Calcio, alongside elite contenders such as Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, and Rafael Leao.
This recognition follows Lookman’s stellar performance last season, where he scored 17 goals and delivered 10 assists in all competitions, including a pivotal hat-trick in Atalanta’s Europa League final triumph over Bayer Leverkusen.
This season, the Atalanta star continues to impress with eight goals and five assists in just 14 matches, solidifying his reputation as one of Serie A’s most dynamic forwards.
Lookman’s nomination, coupled with Atalanta’s nods for Club of the Year and Coach of the Year for Gian Piero Gasperini, underscores his rising influence in Italian football.
Fans are now watching closely to see if the talented 27-year-old will secure this career-defining honor.
