Ademola Lookman isn’t holding back! The Atletico Madrid star has revealed the two defenders who gave him the hardest time in his career — and the names will not surprise you.
Having played across top leagues in England, Germany, Italy, and now Spain, Lookman has faced some of the best defenders in world football. From his days at Everton FC, Leicester City, RB Leipzig, Atalanta BC, Fulham FC and Charlton Athletic, he’s seen it all.
But in a recent chat with ESPN FC, the Nigerian international pointed straight at two elite defenders — Reece James of Chelsea FC and Virgil van Dijk of Liverpool FC.
“There are a few… Reece James, I would say Van Dijk,” Lookman admitted.
Now shining at Atletico Madrid, Lookman has been in top form since his move from Atalanta. All eyes are now on the upcoming UEFA Champions League semi-final clash against Arsenal FC.
Can Lookman rise to the occasion and lead Atletico to glory? Or will Arsenal prove too strong?
Let’s hear from you — who do YOU think is the toughest defender in world football right now?
