"I was there the last time Lookman missed a penalty in the Premier League for Fulham - his boss back then protected him as Gasperini should have done."

Ademola Lookman is poised to leave Italian club Atalanta during the summer and club president Antonio Percassi earlier provided his take on the situation.

Ademola Lookman, the Atalanta striker, has said comments made by Gian Piero Gasperini, his coach at the club, describing him as “one of the worst penalty takers” he had ever seen were “deeply disrespectful” and hurtful.
