“Don’t Let Your Failures Break Your Wings”- Lookman on Winning CAF Player of the Year

Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman delivered an inspiring and heartfelt acceptance speech after being named the 2024 CAF Player of the Year.
The 27-year-old Nigerian footballer received the prestigious award, beating out strong competition from top names such as Ivory Coast’s Simon Adingra, PSG’s Achraf Hakimi, Guinea striker Serhou Guirassy, and South Africa goalkeeper Ronwen Williams.
In his acceptance speech, Lookman took a moment to reflect on a pivotal turning point in his career.
He recalled an unforgettable moment from 2020 when he was playing for Fulham in the Premier League.
In a crucial match against West Ham, Lookman attempted a panenka-style penalty in the dying moments of the game.
His delicate chip lacked the necessary power, and the ball meekly landed into the hands of West Ham’s goalkeeper, Lukasz Fabianski.
Fulham went on to lose 1-0, and the miss became a memorable moment of disappointment in Lookman’s career.
However, Lookman didn’t allow that moment to define him.
Instead, he used it as a catalyst for growth and determination.
Reflecting on the incident, Lookman said, “Just over four years ago, I failed in front of the world. Fast forward four years and I’m the best player in Africa.”
“To the young children and people watching this,” Lookman continued, “don’t let your failures weigh you down to the point where they break your wings.
Turn your pain into your power and continue to fly.”

Osimhen Interested in Galatasaray Move as Club Sends Team to Nigeria to Push Deal

Victor Osimhen is said to be in good spirits as Turkish club Galatasaray step up their efforts to sign him permanently this summer. A fresh report by Turkish journalist Kağan Dursun suggests that Galatasaray’s vice-president, Abdullah Kavukcu, has taken bold steps to move the deal forward.
A representative was reportedly sent to Nigeria to engage with Osimhen directly and also held talks at the Turkish Consulate, hinting at serious intent from the club. Dursun explained that these moves aren’t random, saying Kavukcu wouldn’t travel to Italy to meet with Napoli or send someone to Nigeria unless there were meaningful discussions already underway.
He noted that Osimhen has shown clear interest, saying the player has given a “green light” to Galatasaray. But that doesn’t mean a final decision has been made. “Osimhen is currently leaning toward Galatasaray, but if a top club or a wealthy Middle Eastern side comes in with a huge offer, things could shift quickly,” he added.
Osimhen is still tied to Napoli, but Galatasaray are pushing hard to lock down the Super Eagles star while he remains open to talks.
