Should Simeone Move Ademola Lookman Back to the Wing?

Diego Simeone has reportedly apologised to Ademola Lookman after deploying the Nigerian forward as a centre-forward in Atletico Madrid’s 2-2 draw with Villarreal. Lookman is usually at his best from the wing, where he can use his pace, dribbling and movement to run at defenders. Playing him as a traditional No. 9 may limit the space and freedom that make him dangerous. Atletico’s injury and availability problems may have influenced Simeone’s decision. Still, after two league matches without a goal or assist, Lookman’s role is already attracting attention. Should Simeone return Lookman to the wing, or should the Super Eagles star adapt and prove he can lead the line as a No. 9?
