Atalanta manager, Gian Piero Gasperini says the club is yet to find replacement for Nigeria international, Ademola Lookman after his latest goals in the team’s 5-0 win over Sturm Graz in the EUFA Champions League, reports owngoalnigeria.
After scoring in the weekend against Napoli, the Africa Player of the Year was rested for the visit of the Austrian side but showed his quality with the fourth goal upon his introduction at the half time break.
Lookman headed home in the 90th minute after a combination play between Juan Cudrado and De Ketelaere, which resulted in a cross for Lookman’s fourth goal in six games.

It took his goal account for the season to 14 in 26 games in all competitions, and speaking about his decision to rotate players, Gasperini admitted that the club still hasn’t found a replacement for the Nigerian.
“We have to be careful because we’re missing a replacement for Lookman and De Ketelaere, unless Zaniolo becomes that type of player. I believe that the attack is fundamental, having players who can come in and be decisive is important. Samardzic is doing well now, its a team that can grow,” he revealed.
