Former Inter Milan striker Nicola Ventola has stated that Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman experienced unfair treatment during the summer transfer window.

Ventola mentioned that unfulfilled promises led to the Nigerian international not transferring to Inter Milan from Atalanta.

In an interview with Viva el Futbol, the 47-year-old retired footballer expressed, as quoted by (FCInter1908):

“In my view, Lookman is the one who faced injustice this summer.

“After two years, the promises made were not kept.”
