Dragan also shared some invaluable advice that Lookman passed on to him. According to the teenager, the Nigerian star keeps things simple and encourages young players to enjoy the game. “Lookman told me: ‘Boy, just have fun on the field. Football is fun. You don’t need to stress, always be relaxed and then everything will be fine.’”

With his impressive performances for Atalanta and his leadership off the pitch, Lookman continues to inspire the next generation of footballers. His words of wisdom and positive attitude have left a lasting impact on Dragan, reinforcing his reputation as not just a talented player but also a mentor within the squad.
