Lookman’s outstanding performance on both club and international levels has earned him this prestigious recognition, solidifying his status as one of Africa’s finest football talents.

The award, which celebrates excellence and consistency in the beautiful game, comes as a testament to Lookman’s exceptional contributions in the past year.

The award is a significant achievement, not just for Lookman but for Nigerian football, as it highlights the nation’s ability to consistently produce world-class talents. It also serves as an inspiration for young aspiring footballers in Nigeria, showing that with dedication and hard work, they too can achieve greatness on the global stage.

As the footballing world celebrates this remarkable achievement, fans from Nigeria and across Africa continue to cheer for Lookman, whose story embodies the spirit of resilience and excellence.
