Atlético Madrid assistant coach Luis Tevenet has hailed Ademola Lookman as one of the club's most important signings in the last six to seven years, underscoring just how much the Nigeria international has impressed since his winter arrival.

Lookman, 28, joined the Spanish giants from Serie A side Atalanta during the January transfer window and wasted no time making his mark. Across all competitions, the winger has contributed seven goals and four assists in 18 appearances for Diego Simeone's side.

Tevenet pointed to the pace and creativity Lookman has brought to Atlético's attack as the qualities that have made him such a valuable addition.
