Nigeria winger Ademola Lookman has expressed his gratitude after being crowned Africa’s Best Player at the CAF Awards held in Marrakech, Morocco, last December.
Lookman, who follows in the footsteps of his compatriot Victor Osimhen, described the achievement as a great honor.
“It’s a blessing, it’s a pleasure, and most definitely an honour, to be among the people here who have won the award, like my teammate last year, Osimhen, my brother,” the Atalanta winger told NFF TV.
“To be able to be crowned this is a blessing. It’s something I hold with great honour and great respect.”
Lookman is currently with Nigeria’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.
