Former Nigeria international Yakubu Aiyegbeni has commented on Ademola Lookman’s transfer to Atletico Madrid.
Lookman sealed a permanent transfer to the Spanish club on the final day of the winter transfer window.
Atletico parted with €40m to sign the winger from Serie A club, Atalanta.
Yakubu said he was convinced Lookman will leave Atalanta for a bigger club this winter.

“I was convinced he was going to leave Atalanta Bergamo this winter. Seeing him sign for a big club like Atlético Madrid is a great source of pride,” Yakubu told Africa Foot.
“Ademola deserves to wear the colours of a top club like Atlético Madrid. He will bring many positive things to them.”
The winger spent three and a half seasons with Atalanta, scoring 55 goals and providing 27 assists in 137 appearances across all competitions for La Dea.
Lookman is in line to make his debut for Diego Simeone’s side in Thursday night’s Carabao Cup quarter-final clash with Real Betis.

Now we can understand why one decided to go enjoy life in Turkey at 25, earning 400k every week tax-free, while the other at 29 is offloaded into the hands of a slave rider like Simeone, on terms that were not his to decide………LMAOoooo
When you are big, you are big. When you are accomplished, you are accomplished.
Come the next international break, the one who isn’t driven by money will still hitchhike the Gala hawker’s official private jet back to Europe o……LMAOooo.
And when the Gala seller is done earning 400k weekly for 4 years, while still terrorising defences in Europe, he will head to the Saudi league to earn 700k per week and still be raking up individual awards, trophies and global recognition.
I’ll rather sell gala and be giving people who are not driven by money a ride in my official private jet……..LMAOooo.
Ndi Osimhen’s career is dead……LMAOoo.
Ndi I will make sure Osimhen gets banned from the national team…….LMAOoo.
Ndi I will make sure Osimhen has no peace……..LMAOoo
They are the ones still coughing blood about Osimhen in 2026……..LMAOooo
