Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman has described his recognition as Africa’s best player as an honor and a blessing.
Lookman, who claimed the prestigious award in Marrakech, Morocco, last December, follows in the footsteps of compatriot Victor Osimhen, who won it in 2024.
“It’s a blessing, a pleasure, and most definitely an honor to be among the great players who have won this award, including my teammate Osimhen,” Lookman told NFF TV. “Being crowned Africa’s best is something I hold with great respect.”
The Atalanta star is currently with Nigeria’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.
