South London born former Tandridge League player Ademola
Lookman has transferred to Atletico Madrid from Atalanta in a deal worth
£30.3m. He will be the first English-born player to have played in the
Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga.
Ademola represented England at youth level, winning the
Under-20 World Cup in 2017, before making his debut for Nigeria in 2022. In
2024, he was named African
Footballer of the Year and was also the only African player on
the men's Ballon d'Or shortlist that year.
His goals for Atalanta included a hat-trick in
the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen in 2024.
