UCL: Lookman Is Absolutely Brilliant --Rodgers Speaks Ahea

Celtic coach Brendan Rodgers has described Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman as a brilliant player.

Rodgers stated this ahead of tonight’s Champions League clash between Atalanta and Celtic.

Speaking in a press conference, the former Leicester City coach stated that the Nigerian international leads his life in the right way.

“He’s an absolutely brilliant young player. We stayed in contact and when I was at Leicester, we wanted to bring in another winger and inquired about his availability when he was at Red Bull,” Rodgers said.

“And he came in and he was absolutely brilliant for me in that season, he was there, he scored some outstanding goals. I remember a great individual goal against Liverpool.”

“When he came to Leicester, you could see everything he was. He leads his life in the right way. Everything is geared towards being the best he can be.

“Watching him in that Europa League final, the goals he scored were not by accident. He’s so balanced. He can shoot up his right foot the same as his left foot. He’s an absolutely incredible young professional. To see him score the hat-trick in the final last year was absolutely amazing.”
