Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman will wear the No. 11 shirt for Atletico Madrid in the 2026/27 season.

The Nigeria international joined the LaLiga giants from Serie A side Atalanta in January, and wore the No. 22 jersey during his first six months at the club.

Lookman has now taken over the No. 11 shirt previously worn by Argentina midfielder Thiago Almada, who recently completed a move to River Plate.

The 28-year-old is no stranger to the number, having worn the No. 11 shirt earlier during his stint with Atalanta.

Lookman enjoyed an impressive campaign with Atletico last season.

He registered nine goals, and four assists in 24 appearances across all competitions for the former Spanish champions.
