Ademola Lookman’s summer was far from memorable. His desire to join Inter, which wanted him but did not offer what Atalanta demanded, was so strong that he skipped the club’s training and trained alone. This did not help him at all, and once he learned the transfer would not happen, he returned to Zingonia far behind the rest of the squad.
It took time, but Juric allowed him back into the team, and since then he has played every match, but has yet to score. Juric explains that Lookman has not yet reached peak form, he still lacks the sharpness to finish chances, but that will come. Meanwhile, tonight Milan returns to the New Balance Arena, a team the 28-year-old forward has listed among his “favorite victims.”
Lookman still scoreless: will he break the deadlock today?
As La Gazzetta dello Sport notes, Ademola has scored 3 goals in his last 6 appearances against Milan, always at home. This suggests today could be the right moment. His fitness is improving, and he needs to get his focus in the right rhythm. His coach relies heavily on him and sees progress in every match. Will today be the day?
