Ademola Lookman Takes No. 11 Jersey at Atletico Madrid
Ademola Lookman, the Super Eagles winger, will don the No. 11 shirt for Atletico Madrid during the 2026/27 season, changing from the No. 22 jersey he wore initially. Lookman joined Atletico Madrid from Atalanta in January and quickly became a key player, scoring nine goals and providing four assists in 24 appearances across all competitions.
The No. 11 shirt was previously held by Argentina international Thiago Almada, who transferred to River Plate, making the number available for Lookman. This change allows Lookman to return to a number he is familiar with, having worn No. 11 during his time at Atalanta, where he was recognized as a productive attacking player.
As he prepares for his first full season with Atletico Madrid, Lookman is expected to enhance his contributions and play a significant role in the team's campaign, while also remaining an important player for the Super Eagles.
