🔝 Lookman shines in Europe, Chivu transforms Inter: ThuLaLo! 👀

Inter is dreaming big, and it's doing so by targeting a name that sends shivers down defenses: Ademola Lookman. The Atalanta winger is among the best in Europe for offensive numbers, and his arrival in Milan would completely change the face of the team.

Not only on a technical level, but also tactically: with him, Chivu could revolutionize the formation and create a spectacular attack. From Lautaro and Thuram to a potential "ThuLaLo" trio, the premises are screaming.

🔢 Numbers like a superstar: Lookman top in Europe

Few have noticed, but Lookman is among the best offensive wingers in Europe over the last three years. Behind only sacred monsters like Salah, Saka, Son, and Vinicius, the Nigerian has put together 57 goals and assists in three seasons.

A top player's performance, made even more impressive by his hat-trick in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen. And it doesn't end there:

5th for actions that create shots (5.4 per game)
7th for expected assists per game (0.3)
8th for key passes every 90 minutes (2.4)
9th for touches in the opponent's area (199)

🇮🇹 Serie A dominated: Lookman is everywhere

In Italy, Lookman has made a clean sweep. Under Gasperini's guidance, he has excelled in every offensive statistic:

1st for total expected assists (7.9)
1st for big chances created (12)
1st for posts and crossbars hit (5)
2nd for key passes (61)
2nd for shot-creating actions (135)
7th for total shots (82)

Impressive data, which confirms his impact even in a tactical and physical league like Serie A.

🧠 Everything changes: Chivu prepares the 3-4-2-1

Lookman's arrival would mean a tactical revolution for Inter. Goodbye 3-5-2, Chivu is thinking of a 3-4-2-1 that foresees a more creative and unpredictable attack. With Ademola alongside Lautaro and Thuram, the ThuLaLo trident would be born.

A dynamic attack, with Lookman on the left, free to take on his man and create numerical superiority. A clamorous upgrade for a team already capable of reaching the Champions League final.

💸 Heavy investment, but is it worth it?

Lookman won't come cheap: at least 50 million euros, bonuses included, but Inter is ready to make an effort to bring him to Milan.

Considering his age (28 years old on October 20th), numbers, and adaptability, the investment is more than justified. Fans are dreaming, and Chivu hopes to set San Siro ablaze with a new fearsome trident.
