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.

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has spoken on the controversial offside goal in Manchester City’s recent derby win over Manchester United and shared how Manchester United had actually benefited from a similar decision in the past.

He recalled that three years ago, Manchester United won a derby game against Manchester City with a goal that was allowed to stand despite an offside decision.

“Three years ago, we lost the Derby at Old Trafford with a goal that had to be disallowed. No one apologised. We are still waiting for the apology, Sometimes it happens for you, sometimes against you. It’s football.”

The comments came after Manchester City’s 1–0 win over Manchester United, in which Erling Haaland’s goal was initially ruled offside before VAR overturned the decision. The refereeing body later acknowledged that the decision was incorrect.
