Ademola Lookman
Former Royal Antwerp star, Patrick Pascal has boldly declared that Ademola Lookman must win this year’s CAF Player of the Year award or risk triggering widespread backlash, Soccernet.ng reports.
Pascal, who is currently the Nigerian national team coordinator, believes Lookman’s impressive performances for both club and country make him the undisputed frontrunner for the prestigious honour.
The Atalanta forward has been sensational in recent months, impressing fans and critics alike with his consistency and skill.
Earlier this year, Lookman played a pivotal role for Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), leading the Super Eagles to the final with three goals and an assist.
His achievements on the club front have been equally excellent; he delivered a historic hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final, securing Atalanta’s first-ever European title.
