Ademola Lookman had quite an impact and quickly adapted to Italian football, as his goal against Inter was the seventh he scored this season.

The winger’s sprightly start began with a goal on his Atalanta debut in the opening match of the season, which saw Gasperini’s men clinch a 2-0 win away to Sampdoria. Then he incremented his tally with six more goals in the last eight matches, scoring against Fiorentina, Udinese, Sassuolo, Empoli, Napoli and Inter.

As emphasized by the statistics source Stats Perform – Opta, Lookman is the fourth Atalanta player in the three points for a win era to score at least 7 goals in the opening 15 Serie A matches of his debut season with Atalanta. The other three players who achieved this are Luis Muriel, German Denis and Filippo Inzaghi. Not just that, this is already Ademola’s most prolific season in a single campaign with 7 goals.
