Ademola Lookman, the Atalanta forward, has been named among the final five nominees for the 2024 CAF Men’s Player of the Year award.
Competing alongside him are Simon Adingra, Serhou Guirassy, Achraf Hakimi, and Ronwen Williams.
Lookman’s stellar performances this season have made him a strong contender, with notable achievements such as scoring a historic hat-trick in the UEFA Europa League final and securing 11 goals and five assists in 18 appearances across all competitions.
Moreover, his three goals and one assist for the Super Eagles at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire further highlight his contributions to Nigerian football.
Lookman aims to follow in the footsteps of his international teammate Victor Osimhen, who claimed the title last year.
As he prepares for the CAF Awards ceremony, which will take place on December 16 in Marrakech, Morocco, his journey serves as an inspiration to many.
His success demonstrates that dedication and perseverance can yield extraordinary results.
As Lookman’s form continues to shine under Gian Piero Gasperini’s guidance, fans eagerly await the results of this prestigious honor.
