Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman remains top of the Serie A striker ratings after Matchday 32, even amid a noticeable dip in form.
The rankings, owned by reputable publication TuttoMercatoWeb and limited to players evaluated in at least 19 matchdays, place the Nigerian international joint-first alongside teammate Mateo Retegui, both with an average rating of 6.52.
Roma’s Paulo Dybala (6.48), Inter Milan’s Marcus Thuram (6.47), and Napoli’s David Neres (6.42) complete the top five in a list curated by the respected Italian outlet.
Lookman has endured a difficult spell since returning from national duty with Nigeria. He has failed to score or assist in his last four Serie A appearances and has been substituted in each outing, against Inter Milan (83 minutes), Fiorentina (55), Lazio (74), and Bologna (81).

Lookman, 27, has been instrumental for Atalanta once again this season, registering 18 goals and seven assists across all competitions. He recently became the first player to post double-digit goal contributions in three consecutive Serie A campaigns.
Although his form has dipped in recent weeks, with no goal involvement since the international break, the reigning CAF Men’s Player of the Year remains one of the most sought-after Nigerian players in Europe.
