Legendary head coach Arrigo Sacchi has told the Gazzetta dello Sport that Ademola Lookman can make a difference for Inter if he joins the Nerazzurri from Atalanta, โproviding he settles in quickly and integrates perfectly with the group.โ
In his interview with Gazzetta, with quotes via TMW, Sacchi also described the Nigerian forward as โa phenomenal sprinter,โ stating โthat is the quality that [Inter] need to make the most of.โ
Sacchi was also โcuriousโ to see new Inter signing Ange-Yoan Bonny in action, describing the Frenchman as โa very unique kind of striker: selfless and a hard workerโ whilst noting the former Parma manโs โneed to improve in front of goal.โ

Lookman would be a โstep forwardโ for Inter โ Sacchi
The former Milan head coach was asked if the Nerazzurri have made progress by potentially upgrading Arnautovic and Taremi to Bonny and Lookman, to which he said โIt is definitely a step forward, no doubt.โ
Finally, Sacchi was asked whether he can imagine a front three of Lookman, Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez: โAnything is possible, as long as everyone sacrifices themselves for the good of the team. In my Milan, Gullit, Van Basten, Rijkaard, Donadoni and the rest all played together.
โThe key is that Chivu outlines a clear strategy and that his players stick to it without getting discouraged at the first setback. But to field a trio like that, the forwards will have to work very hard when pressing, otherwise the team will suffer.โ

Lookman is currently in talks over a deal to leave Atalanta for Inter this summer. La Divinitร ย want โฌ50 million for the former Fulham player and the Nerazzurri continue to negotiate with the club and the playerโs representatives in the meantime.
Last season, Lookman scored 20 goals and registered seven assists in 40 games in all competitions for Atalanta.
