Gasperini Aims Another Swipe At Lookman

Gasperini Aims Another Swipe At Lookman

Ibrahim Lateef BSNSports.com.ng can report that Gian Piero Gasperini has aimed another quick sideswipe at Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman following their bitter row.

‘He always scored goals, at least since he joined Atalanta', the Italian said.

The rapport between coach and star striker is increasingly frosty and just keeps getting worse, especially as the player notably did not shake hands with his manager after a substitution in Sunday's 5-0 win away to Empoli.

Speaking at a press conference afterwards, Gasperini sent another quick reminder that while Atalanta owes a lot to Lookman, it very much goes two ways.

 “Lookman has always scored a lot of goals, at least since he joined Atalanta. He has become an extraordinary player, especially when he puts himself at the disposal of the team.

“He said that he feels a bond with the fans and I appreciate that very much.”
