Ademola Lookman, the Super Eagles forward, has been tipped to succeed Victor Osimhen as the CAF Player of the Year following Atalanta’s victory over Olympique Marseille.
Lookman stands out as a frontrunner for the CAF Player of the Year award, boasting a remarkable track record in the 2023-24 season campaign.
His achievements include clinching the Africa Cup of Nations silver medal, contributing three goals and one assist during the tournament, and earning an AFCON Man of the Match award.
Additionally, Lookman played a key role in helping Gian Gasperini’s Atalanta reach the finals of both the Copa Italian and the Europa League.
Currently, Lookman has an impressive tally of 12 goals and eight assists for Atalanta this season, further firming his position as a standout player deserving of the prestigious award.
Recall that Osimhen’s outstanding performance in Napoli’s 2022-23 season campaign, winning the Italian Serie A title and scoring numerous goals, earned him the Player of the Year award.
