Tevenet’s comments came after the Tevenet hails Lookman Atlético Madrid signing narrative gained attention across Spanish football circles, with the winger’s early impact under Diego Simeone drawing widespread admiration.

Lookman has already registered seven goals and four assists in 18 appearances across all competitions, quickly establishing himself as a key attacking outlet for the Spanish side.

Since his arrival, the 27-year-old has brought pace, directness and creativity to Atlético’s frontline, offering flexibility in wide areas and enhancing the team’s attacking unpredictability.

Tevenet noted that the Nigerian international’s influence extends beyond statistics, highlighting his ability to unsettle defenders and create space for teammates in tight matches.

His dribbling skill and link-up play have added a new dimension to Atlético’s attacking structure, making the team more dynamic and difficult to contain.

Lookman is expected to feature in Atlético Madrid’s upcoming UEFA Champions League clash against Arsenal at the Metropolitano Stadium, a fixture that will place him back under the spotlight on the European stage.
