Europa League: Celtic boss Rodgers happy for Atalanta hero Lookman

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers was delighted to watch Ademola Lookman put up a superb performance against Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday night.

Lookman thrilled fans at the Aviva Stadium with with a wonderful hat-trick in the Europa League final.

Rodgers worked with Lookman at Leicester City during the 2021/22 season.

The winger netted eight times in 42 outings during the loan stint.

“What a professional he is, how he looks after himself, the extra work he does in training,” Rodgers told talkSPORT.

“Those goals that he scored, he practices those after training. He’d always do extra finishing.

“His professionalism was unbelievable and the only sad part for us was at the end of that season, we had a clause where we could have bought him for £14 million.”
