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.
Liverpool have released a list of players who are confirmed to leave the club this summer.

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.
