Ademola Lookman arriving at Atlético Madrid represents a huge opportunity for Los Colchoneros and their under-fire coach Diego Simeone, not only to eliminate Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semifinal, but to win their first trophy in five long years.
The London-born Nigeria international possesses two-footed dribbling skills, notable quickness, a nose for goal and good vision. He is the kind of player who is the antithesis of Simeone's often-moribund, risk-averse, increasingly predictable playing style.
