Latest Leicester City news as former loanee Ademola Lookman shows what Brendan Rodgers is missing with a starring display against Juventus in Serie A
Leicester City supporters are expressing their transfer regret after Ademola Lookman put in a starring performance against Juventus on Sunday.
Lookman scored twice and assisted another goal as Atalanta drew 3-3 with Juventus in Serie A action. The winger was on loan at Leicester City last season and the club had the chance to sign him in the summer, for a figure around the £12 million to £14m mark.
His form for Atalanta this season – nine goals and three assists in 18 Serie A games – has attracted attention, with his performance against Juventus really hammering home how much Leicester is crying out for a winger this month. Below is a look at what Leicester supporters have been saying on Twitter.

@JackJ_: Ademola Lookman had two goals and one assist against Juventus. He’s now scored six goals in his last three games in Italy. Leicester did not bite Leipzig’s hand off in order to sign him for £12 million…
@LukeThorne6: Lookman is back for Atalanta, this time with two goals and an assist against Juventus. How did we allow him to flee? Summer’s biggest blunder for #lcfc. All from RM when we desperately need a winger. He was a bargain buy in Europe at only 12 million euros.
@ReeveTom: Hey, look man. Not bad for 12 million dollars: two goals and an assist.
@Jaison96: Could you explain? @LCFC
@MrDavKainth: Another Lookman strike! I’m not sure why we didn’t sign him up!
@ABright99: Why didn’t we try harder to keep Lookman? He’s having a good season in Serie A and is a player we desperately need!
@Striking Gold: It’s really upsetting to see Leicester get rid of Lookman when he was so good for us! Gasperini, I want him back!
