Troost-Ekong says Lookman is ready for Super Eagles World Cup qualifier against Rwanda
Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has shed light on Ademola Lookman’s mood in camp as Nigeria gears up for their World Cup qualifiers, despite the disappointment of his failed transfer to Inter Milan.
Ekong revealed that the Atalanta winger has stayed positive and is fully focused on the upcoming matches. Lookman was left frustrated during the summer window after Atalanta blocked his move to the Serie A giants, but his determination has not wavered.
Speaking at Friday’s pre-match press conference, Ekong praised his teammate’s resilience. “The transfer window is always tricky, especially with the amount of talent in this squad. We’ve all supported Lookman throughout. The coach even called him the best player in Africa, and from what I’ve seen, he looks even hungrier to deliver,” he said.
Nigeria faces Rwanda in Oyo on Saturday in a must-win qualifier that could keep their slim World Cup hopes alive. Much will rest on Lookman’s shoulders, as the team looks to his consistency and energy to inspire them in the decisive clash.
Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on his son’s future and football career after watching his training sessions.
He spoke about his 16-year-old son “He’s a good kid. Honest, a good kid. The others are tougher. The ones I have at home, the younger ones. This one is no problem. The others…”
“When I was his age, he was a bit bigger and stronger. I was smaller. I believe he will be bigger than me in size. The hunger is the most challenging aspect.”
Footballers João Pedro and Moisés Caicedo have shared their thoughts on the recent transfer of former Brighton player Danny Welbeck.
It can be noted that Welbeck recently completed a move to Stamford Bridge. Pedro shared “This will mark the third occasion we have played together, and I believe, just as he did for me previously, he will extend his support to everyone in the squad. Danny embodies that spirit; he is incredibly helpful and genuinely wishes the best for everyone around him and for the team.
“It is well-known that he is an exceptional player. I am eager to play alongside him once more, and I believe he will be a tremendous asset to our group.”
Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior has spoken about his contract and how things have been since discussions began.
He said “It’s gone very well, meeting the new coach and the new players and training very hard. Mourinho wants me to be as I’ve always been: happy, cheerful, and that I play my football.”
“We have to prepare physically so that during the season we have fewer injuries and we can count on everybody. Monday was a double session, Tuesday is one session. So let’s go. Today we did a bit of work in the gym and a short session to load our legs some more.”
