Ademola Lookman is set to join Atletico Madrid from Atalanta for 35m euros (£30.3m). The 28-year-old forward will travel to Spain to undergo a medical with the two clubs having agreed the fee for his transfer. His goals included a hat-trick in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen in 2024, which secured the club's first European trophy and ended the German side's 51-match unbeaten run. He was only the sixth player to score a treble in a European club final and the first since 1975. Lookman went on to be crowned the African Footballer of the Year that same year.
