Ademola Lookman will be the focal point when Atalanta takes on Arsenal in a UEFA Champions League match at Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo on Thursday (Today).
Lookman was the standout player in Atalanta’s UEFA Europa League final victory over Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen last season.
The 26-year-old scored a remarkable hat-trick in that encounter.
The Nigeria international made a huge impact on his first Serie A start against Fiorentina on Sunday.
The former Leicester City star contributed with one goal and one assist in the match, helping La Dea snap their two-game winless streak.
Lookman has previously scored one goal in the Champions League during his time at German club RB Leipzig.
A strong performance against the Gunners could bolster his candidacy for the African Player of the Year award.
