Europa League: Ademola Lookman, the new record holder!

Indeed, these three goals will go down in the annals of history, enabling his team to win the trophy in Dublin on Wednesday.

His hat-trick helped Atalanta Bergamo to a 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen and the C3 title. The three goals scored by the former Leicester player established several records. Before his hat-trick, the Super Eagle became the fastest player to score a brace in the Europa League final, just 26 minutes into the match.

But that’s not all. Lookman is the first player in history to score a hat-trick in the Europa League final. He is also the first African player to score a hat-trick in a European Cup final (C1, C2, C3). At the peak of his career, the 26-year-old winger is attracting attention from Premier League clubs. He could make a return to England this summer.

Before his hat-trick this evening, the Nigerian had scored 12 goals and provided 8 assists in 42 games in all competitions.

Under contract with Atalanta Bergamo until June 2026, the London-born player is valued at €30 million by Transfermarkt. Ademola Lookman earns an annual salary of €2,310,000 (FCFA 1,514,807,377). Atalanta Bergamo will face Torino on the 38th and final day of the Italian Serie A season.
