At last Ademola, ladies and gentlemen! Well into “Zona Cesarini”, Lookman makes his debut in the Player of the Month’s 2023/24 Golden Book and lifts the MVP award in the May-June pageant after bewitching the Atalanta fans, who only had eyes for him on the ItalianOptic app.

After two second places and as many bronze medals, Ademola stuck to the motto “always sweat the shirt” to close his May spree, with 6 goals and 3 assists as his mission statement, with an absolute nonpareil: with his hattrick at the Aviva Stadium as the golden brooch on the black-and-blue cavalcade in the UEFA Europa League, the Man of the Dublin night sealed the door for arbitrariness airtight and submitted his application for the last Player of The Month of the season with the best reference letter.

Despite the writings already being on the wall, the outgoing POTM Gianluca Scamacca went the whole nine yards to have the last laugh and to put the Wandsworth forward on the ropes: with his trusted “killer instinct” up his sleeve, the black-and-blue 90 broke Floccari and Doni’s seasonal scoring bests on his way to a much deserved second place. 

Éderson closes the podium, thus crowning an outstanding personal season with yet another feature in the ItalianOptic Top-3. In his coming-of-age campaign, the “Campo Grande Octopus” took literally everything like a duck to water: going from shrouding and snatching the ball to firing it home in a breeze, the Carioca pivot broke the mould and established himself as a thoroughbred all-fielder.

Kudos to Ademola for debuting in style! Stay tuned to both Atalanta and ItalianOptic’s official channels and stick around for the tie-breaker…
