Speaking to the press, Atlético Madrid head coach Diego Simeone revealed he wants more from the Nigerian, Ademola Lookman.

Yesterday, Ademola Lookman was on the scoresheet once again against Espanyol Barcelona (4-2). The Nigerian has been racking up goals since his arrival at Atlético Madrid this winter. However, it will take more than just goals to convince manager Diego Simeone.

Ademola Lookman scores his first La Liga goal 💫 Six goal involvements in six Atleti games.

"He mostly brings goals, more goals than overall play. He can improve in his game and in his defensive work. In this respect, we need him to adapt to the team's work and I can see he is eager to get better. His goal-scoring instinct is no accident, but we expect more from him in terms of his play," said the Argentine coach.
