Born in London, Lookman began his career at Charlton Athletic before moving to Everton. He later joined RB Leipzig, with loan spells at Fulham and Leicester City, before completing a permanent move to Atalanta in 2022. The signing comes as Atletico coach Diego Simeone pushes for reinforcements following the departure of Giacomo Raspadori to Atalanta and Conor Gallagher’s move to Tottenham. The club has also struggled in attack, with striker Julian Alvarez failing to score in his last 11 La Liga matches.
