“His Focus on Football Has Taken Him to This Level” – Ademola Lookman’s Father
The father of Ademola Lookman, who was recently named the 2024 CAF Men’s Player of the Year, has shown pride in his son’s achievements.
He was honored with Africa’s prestigious football award during a grand ceremony held in Marrakech, Morocco, on Monday night.
With his victory, Lookman joins an elite list of Nigerian footballers, becoming the sixth player from the country to receive the coveted title.
Also, he follows in the footsteps of his compatriot Victor Osimhen, who won the award the previous year.
Lookman’s father, who attended the ceremony with his son, couldn’t be prouder of the winger’s success.
He spoke to LiveScore, mentioning his son’s relentless commitment to the game and his desire to stay out of the limelight.
According to the elder Lookman, his son’s focus has always been on improving his skills and making meaningful contributions to his team rather than seeking attention.
“I am extremely proud of him,” the father said.
“Ademola is a very committed player, and what stands out the most is his humility.
He doesn’t seek unnecessary publicity or fame.
His primary focus has always been football, and it is this determination and dedication that has led him to achieve such great success.”
Lookman, who currently plays for Atalanta in Italy’s Serie A, has earned recognition not only for his on-field talent but also for his strong work ethic and professionalism.
Kevin De Bruyne, who is set to part ways with Manchester City at the end of this season, has opened up about his future—hinting that staying in the Premier League might still be on the table. The 33-year-old midfield maestro confirmed that he’s already in talks with several clubs as he prepares to leave City as a free agent.
Speaking in a recent interview, De Bruyne shared that family considerations could influence whether he stays in England. “I’m having conversations with clubs right now,” he said. “I want to keep playing good football. Whether I remain in England really depends on who’s interested… I’ve got a family and kids, so I have to make a decision that works for all of us.”
De Bruyne joined Manchester City in 2015 from Wolfsburg and has since built a remarkable legacy. Over nearly a decade, he’s helped the club secure six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and the coveted Champions League trophy in 2023 under Pep Guardiola.
Real Madrid’s outgoing manager Carlo Ancelotti has sent a clear message to Barcelona following their LaLiga title win this season. While he acknowledged that Barcelona played well and fully deserved the championship, Ancelotti warned that next season will not be the same.
Speaking about the season, the 65-year-old praised Hansi Flick’s Barcelona for their quality football and solid performance. “Barcelona did very well this season. They played good football and deserved to win the league,” he said.
However, Ancelotti was quick to add that things will change in the upcoming season, hinting at a tougher challenge ahead for the Catalan club. Ancelotti is set to leave Real Madrid soon to become the head coach of Brazil’s national team.
Before he departs, he will manage Madrid in two final matches against Sevilla and Real Sociedad. The Italian coach leaves Real Madrid as the club’s most successful manager, having won 15 trophies across two spells.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has publicly encouraged Kevin De Bruyne to consider joining the Reds this summer. De Bruyne is set to leave Manchester City when his contract expires in June, and he has hinted that he’s open to playing for another Premier League club. While there’s been talk of interest from Major League Soccer in the US, Salah made it clear that Liverpool would welcome the Belgian midfielder with open arms.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Salah praised De Bruyne’s career and his impact on English football. “I want to say congratulations on an incredible career,” Salah said. “He’s done amazing work at City and has been a key player for the league.” With Liverpool now Premier League champions, fans will be eager to see if De Bruyne takes up Salah’s invitation and joins the fight at Anfield.
