Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman has been handed the prestigious No. 11 jersey at Atlético Madrid after initially wearing No. 22 following his move from Atalanta. The change signals the Spanish club's growing confidence in the Nigerian forward and the important role expected of him this season.
Lookman, 27, has enjoyed a rapid rise over the past two years, becoming an Atalanta hero after scoring a historic hat-trick in the 2024 UEFA Europa League final. His impressive performances also earned him the CAF African Player of the Year award before his high-profile move to Madrid.
The No. 11 shirt holds a special place in Atlético's history, having previously been worn by several notable players. Lookman will now wear the number as he begins his first full campaign with the club, with Atlético competing for La Liga, the Champions League, and domestic honours.
