Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman has been crowned Atalanta’s Player of the Season for 2023/2024 retaining his award from the previous campaign.
The announcement came after a fiercely competitive contest that required an overtime runoff and even extended to an Instagram profile showdown after the regular voting ended in a tie.
Lookman’s impressive performances throughout the season, with 17 goals and 11 key passes across all competitions, made him the team’s second-best scorer and assist provider.
His hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final in Dublin proved to be a decisive factor in his triumph.
Midfield stalwart Éderson finished second while Teun Koopmeiners was third.
Éderson, who played consistently across 52 matches and scored seven goals, put up a strong challenge as the club praised his consistency and perseverance throughout the season.
Midfielder Koopmeiners, a regular on the Italian Optic podium throughout the season was also impressive with 22-goal contributions – 15 goals and 7 assists across all competitions.
In a statement, Atalanta congratulated Lookman for his back-to-back Player of the Season awards.
