Ighalo predicts Lookman will thrive under Simeone at Atletico
Former Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo predicts Ademola Lookman will thrive under Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid. Ighalo, describing Simeone as a tactical and intelligent coach, believes Lookman's move from Atalanta to Atletico will enhance his development. Lookman has already made an impact with four goals and two assists in six appearances since his January transfer. Ighalo stated: 'Playing under Simeone's guidance will benefit Lookman because Simeone is a tactical and intelligent coach. I see this as a good step forward in his career.' Lookman is expected to play a key role in Atletico's Champions League return leg against Club Brugge. This move positions Lookman for increased responsibility in Spain's top league.
