Super Eagles players honored Ademola Lookman on Monday night with a cake to celebrate his win as the 2024 CAF Men’s Player of the Year. The Atalanta winger was celebrated during dinner at the team’s camp at Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, Ikot Ekpene.

Lookman won the prestigious award last December in Marrakech, Morocco, following an impressive season for both his club and the Super Eagles. Victor Osimhen, who won the award in 2023, praised Lookman and said he fully deserved the recognition.

“We all know Lookman deserved this. He’s been outstanding for both his club and the Super Eagles,” Osimhen said. “It’s a big deal that this award came to Nigeria and went to someone who truly earned it.”

Osimhen added, “I’m really proud of you. We’ve talked about this privately, and I’ve told you how proud I am that you chose to play for the Super Eagles. Your hard work and dedication have paid off.”

Lookman and Osimhen were key to Nigeria’s 2-0 win over Rwanda last Friday. They’ll be looking to make an impact again when Nigeria faces Zimbabwe today.
