It's once in a year and he won it! Who?
Ademola Lookman. He attended the occasion in truly Nigerian 🇳🇬 colour and style.
It was the annual Confederate of African football(CAF) awards event, just yesterday night, held in Morocco. It's a porche event that even the highest football governing body(FIFA) President was in attendance.
This event awards the very best in the continent of Africa. For example our own Nnadozie was the best in the category of the best female goalkeeper in 2024.
Now it was time for the big one, which is reserved for the last, the FIFA President himself read out the winner of this category— the best male player of year 2024. By the way Nigeria's Victor Osimhen is the outgone winner.
The field had been narrowed to just five contenders – the popular Moroccan star full-back playing for the stupendously rich PSG, Achraf Hakimi; Ivory Coast's and Brighton of England's bright light Simon Adingra; Serhou Guirassy; Ronwen William and ofcourse Nigerian and Atalanta of Italy star, Ademola Lookman.
It was quite a nervy one for Ademola's supporters because their were leaked unconfirmed reports that Ĥakimi would pip him to the title.
Finally, the announcement was made and the worthy fellow was called up, it was Nigerians Ademola Lookman rising up to cheers around him as he stepped forward to receive his award as the best player in the ŵole of Africa for this year. It goes without saying that he is a worthy winner:
- 17 goals, 10 assists for Atalanta in 2023-24 🔥
- UEFA Europa league champion 🏆
- Hat trick in the UEFA Europa league final ⚽️⚽️⚽️
- 3 goals, 1 assist in AFCON for Nigeria 🇳🇬
- AFCON finalist twice
Ademola Lookman is Africa’s finest 🌍👏 no doubt.
Congratulations to him, to his hardwork and his strong mentality. He first gave gratitude to God Almighty in his acceptance speech, that indeed is sublime.
