Ademola Lookman: Spanish model accuses Super Eagles star of sexual assault

Ademola Lookman has only been in Spain for a short time, but he has already found himself in the middle of controversy, Afrik-Foot reports.

The Nigeria international joined Atlético Madrid from Atalanta at the end of January in a deal worth around €35 million.

On the pitch, Lookman has made a bright start. The 27-year-old has scored four goals and provided three assists in his first eight matches in all competitions. His quick feet and sharp finishing have quickly made him an important player for Atletico.

However, away from football, serious allegations have now emerged.

According to reports in the Turkish and Spanish media, Lookman has been accused of sexual assault by a Spanish model. It is claimed that the alleged incident happened during a recent private meeting.

So far, there has been no official confirmation of any formal charge or investigation by Spanish police or other authorities.

Ademola Lookman’s camp yet to respond

At the time of writing, neither Lookman nor his representatives have made any public statement about the accusation.

The reports have spread quickly in both Spain and Italy, putting the Nigerian international back in the headlines for reasons unrelated to football. Many are now waiting to see whether the player or his club will respond in the coming days.

Despite the situation off the field, Lookman remains focused on football matters.

The Super Eagles forward is expected to be involved tonight when Atletico face Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg.

Lookman played a key role in the first leg, scoring one goal and providing one assist in a 4-0 victory.

If Atletico secure another positive result, they will move on to the final, where either Athletic Bilbao or Real Sociedad will be waiting.
