Lookman Nominated for Serie A Forward of the Year at Gran Gala del Calcio

Ademola Lookman has received a prestigious nomination for the Serie A Forward of the Year at the highly anticipated Gran Gala del Calcio Awards.
The Nigerian winger’s outstanding performances have earned him a spot in this competitive category, where he will go up against some of the best forwards in the league.
His fellow nominees include Inter Milan’s lethal strike duo, Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, alongside the ever-dangerous Rafael Leao from AC Milan.
Lookman’s impressive form this season for Atalanta has not gone unnoticed.
The 27-year-old has been a standout player, contributing eight goals and five assists in just 14 appearances across all competitions.
His performances have been key to Atalanta’s success as they continue to challenge at the top end of Serie A.
This comes after a stellar season last year, where Lookman finished with 17 goals and 10 assists, making him one of the most influential players in the league.
In addition to his Serie A accolades, Lookman’s consistency on the international stage has also been recognized.
He placed 14th in the 2024 Ballon d’Or ranking, a remarkable achievement for a player who has continued to rise in stature.
Lookman is widely regarded as one of the favorites to win the 2024 CAF Men’s Player of the Year award, solidifying his place among the top African footballers.

Onyeka Remains Hopeful that Super Eagles Can Qualify for 2026 World Cup

Frank Onyeka remains hopeful about the Super Eagles’ chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, despite their struggles in the qualifiers so far.
With just one win, four draws, and one loss in their six matches, the Eagles are currently sitting in fourth place in Group C, trailing leaders South Africa by six points.
However, Onyeka believes there’s still a chance for the team to turn things around. “I know the situation is tough, but we still have a shot. If we win our next four games, we can make it,” the Augsburg midfielder said in an interview with Oma Sports.
Nigeria’s World Cup qualification campaign resumes in September, with crucial matches against Rwanda and Zimbabwe on the horizon.
