Ademola Lookman Names Joe Aribo and Calvin Bassey as His Closest Friends in the Super Eagles
Ademola Lookman, the talented winger for Atalanta and a standout player for the Nigerian national team, has shared the names of his closest friends within the Super Eagles squad.

Lookman played an instrumental role in Nigeria’s impressive run during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations held earlier this year.
His standout performances included scoring two crucial goals in the Round of 16 against Cameroon, helping Nigeria secure a decisive victory.
He followed that up with a match-winning goal against Angola in the quarter-finals, further cementing his status as one of the team’s go-to players in critical moments.
Despite falling short in the final, Lookman’s contributions were pivotal in propelling the team to such heights.
When asked about his close relationships within the Super Eagles, Lookman revealed that he shares a strong bond with a select group of players, referring to them as the “innit boys,” a nod to their shared British-Nigerian backgrounds.
He specifically mentioned Joe Aribo, a versatile midfielder currently playing for Southampton, and Calvin Bassey, a dynamic defender who made waves with his transfer to Fulham.
Both players, like Lookman, have roots in England but chose to represent Nigeria on the international stage, forging deep connections both on and off the pitch.
