Atalanta and Super Eagles forward, Ademola Lookman continues to shine as one of Africa’s finest football exports, earning a nomination for November’s Serie A Player of the Month.
Lookman will compete against five other players for the award.
The 27-year-old scored three goals in two league outings for Gian Piero Gasperini’s team this month.
