Ademola Lookman accused by Spanish Model of Sexual Assaults

Ademola Lookman has only been in Spain for a short time, but he has already found himself in the middle of controversy.

The Nigeria international joined Atlético Madrid from Atalanta at the end of January in a deal worth around €35 million.

On the pitch, Lookman has made a bright start. The 27-year-old has scored four goals and provided three assists in his first eight matches in all competitions. His quick feet and sharp finishing have quickly made him an important player for Atletico.

However, away from football, serious allegations have now emerged.

According to reports in the Turkish and Spanish media, Lookman has been accused of sexual assault by a Spanish model. It is claimed that the alleged incident happened during a recent private meeting.

So far, there has been no official confirmation of any formal charge or investigation by Spanish police or other authorities.

At the time of writing, neither Lookman nor his representatives have made any public statement about the accusation.

The reports have spread quickly in both Spain and Italy, putting the Nigerian international back in the headlines for reasons unrelated to football. Many are now waiting to see whether the player or his club will respond in the coming days.
