Ademola Lookman has expressed his excitement after completing a move to La Liga giants, Atletico Madrid.
Lookman’s permanent transfer from Atalanta to the Red and Whites was made official on Monday.
The Nigerian international ended his four-and-a-half year stint with Atalanta to pitch tent with Diego Simeone’s side.
Atletico Madrid beat Turkish Super Lig club, Fenerbahce, to his signature.
The 28-year-old penned a contract until June 2030.
Lookman said joining Atletico Madrid is a big blessing for him.
“It’s special to be here, it’s an amazing club. It’s a blessing to be here, like I said, I’m happy to be here,” Lookman told Atletico Madrid’s official website.
“I have played in three of the top leagues before. I’m coming to another top league, to a big country also. A new language as well, is a new challenge for me, but I’m excited about it and looking forward to it.”
