Ademola Lookman’s arrival at Atletico Madrid has been a lifesaver for Nigerian football, according to Sunday Oliseh, a former captain of the Super Eagles.
This conversation took place on Sunday, and Oliseh was speaking during his show, Oliseh’s Global Football Insights.
Lookman left Atalanta for Atletico Madrid on the day of the winter transfer deadline.
The international player from Nigeria has committed to playing for the La Liga club in Spain until 2030 after signing a four-and-a-half year deal.
“From my own experience in the game, Lookman’s transfer to Atletico Madrid might just have saved Nigerian football,” Oliseh stated.
Financially, Lookman will thrive. The youthful players of Nigerian football now have a chance to dream of playing in the elite divisions, all thanks to Lookman.
