According to a reports, the Nigerian international made the squad number switch following the departure of Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada, who recently finalized a transfer to River Plate.

Lookman previously wore the No. 22 jersey during his initial six-month stint with the Spanish giants after making his January move from Serie A outfit Atalanta.

The shirt number is familiar territory for the 28-year-old attacker, who notably sported the No. 11 shirt during part of his standout tenure in Italy with Atalanta.
