Percassi On Lookman
Percassi said it is important for Lookman to change his attitude.
“You cannot go back and change the past, so we will focus on the present and future. We all know how good Ademola is, but also that in order to play for Atalanta, you must be 100 per cent focused,” Percassi told Sky Sport Italia.
“When he feels ready to do that, we are waiting for him with open arms.”
