It bring to an end his successful 20-year career in European football.

Griezmann’s exit will trigger a tactical shift at Atletico, especially for Lookman.

Lookman is currently deployed by Diego Simeone as a wide midfielder in a rigid 4-4-2 formation.

Although this setup allows Lookman to utilize his pace out wide, it also forces him deeper into defensive duties.

During the Nigerian’s time at Atalanta, he flourished as an inverted winger or a second striker.

​With Griezmann’s imminent departure, Lookman could now play in a more advanced attacking role, transitioning into a two-pronged strike partnership and playing closer to the goal.
