“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.
Liverpool have released a list of players who are confirmed to leave the club this summer.
The list includes star players Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Ibrahima Konaté. While some players are leaving, others have been offered new contracts.
The players who have been offered fresh terms include Kyle Kelly, Afolami Onanuga, Oliver O’Connor, Lucas Pitt, Ben Trueman, Matthew Wright, Prince Cisse, and Keyrol Figueroa.
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has urged Ademola Lookman to consider a move to Galatasaray.
It can be noted that Lookman recently completed a transfer to Atlético Madrid, and since then, many European clubs have shown interest in the player.
Osimhen then shared an encouraging message to the player, stating that he would be welcome at Galatasaray.
“We are waiting for you at Galatasaray. Come and be a part of this family.”
French footballer Kylian Mbappé has spoken on which player between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will score more goals at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It can be noted that the FIFA World Cup will begin on Thursday and will be co-hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
The player picked Lionel Messi to score more goals than Ronaldo during the tournament.
