Super Eagles legend Sunday Mba has suggested Ademola Lookman will walk into Chelsea’s starting lineup ahead of a potential summer move.
Ademola Lookman’s future at Atalanta is up in the air after recent comments made by head coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
Lookman and Gasperini’s relationship has remained strained ever since the Atalanta boss publicly criticised the Super Eagles star for his missed penalty in their Champions League play-off defeat to Club Brugge.
In the aftermath of that tense situation, several Nigerians have called for Lookman to leave the club this summer, a sentiment strengthened by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano’s report that Atalanta are prepared for an exit.
 "Lookman is better than any Chelsea player — Super Eagles legend declares 1")
AFCON 2013 winner and Super Eagles icon Sunday Mba has advised Ademola Lookman to leave Atalanta this summer.
As far as potential destinations, Nigeria legend Sunday Mba believes the 27-year-old will be a perfect fit for Chelsea’s system under manager Enzo Maresca.
Mba also believes Lookman will be the Blues’ best player, with only Cole Palmer coming close.
Speaking to Africafoot, Mba said;
“With all due respect, Ademola Lookman is better than any other Chelsea player, with the possible exception of Cole Palmer.
“Lookman fits perfectly into this team and will be an instant hit. Chelsea would also improve massively in the final third, but with his contract, it wouldn’t cost them much,” he added.
Lookman has been on fire since joining Atalanta, contributing 49 goals and 23 assists in 107 appearances.
