Lookman Nominated for Serie A Forward of the Year at Gran Gala del Calcio
Ademola Lookman has received a prestigious nomination for the Serie A Forward of the Year at the highly anticipated Gran Gala del Calcio Awards.
The Nigerian winger’s outstanding performances have earned him a spot in this competitive category, where he will go up against some of the best forwards in the league.
His fellow nominees include Inter Milan’s lethal strike duo, Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, alongside the ever-dangerous Rafael Leao from AC Milan.
Lookman’s impressive form this season for Atalanta has not gone unnoticed.
The 27-year-old has been a standout player, contributing eight goals and five assists in just 14 appearances across all competitions.
His performances have been key to Atalanta’s success as they continue to challenge at the top end of Serie A.
This comes after a stellar season last year, where Lookman finished with 17 goals and 10 assists, making him one of the most influential players in the league.
In addition to his Serie A accolades, Lookman’s consistency on the international stage has also been recognized.
He placed 14th in the 2024 Ballon d’Or ranking, a remarkable achievement for a player who has continued to rise in stature.
Lookman is widely regarded as one of the favorites to win the 2024 CAF Men’s Player of the Year award, solidifying his place among the top African footballers.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
