However, Lookman showed why he remains one of the hottest forwards in Serie A, breaching one of the most stubborn defenses in the league at the moment with two stunning goals.

With his 16th goal of the year, Lookman became the Serie A player with the most goal contributions for 2024.

Lookman’s goals come amid the backdrop of Napoli’s on-going tussle with another Super Eagle star, Victor Osimhen, who is still on loan from the Partenopei to Galatasaray after a protracted battle to leave the club during the summer.
