Super Eagles winger, Ademola Lookman has been crowned 2024 CAF men’s ‘Player of the Year.’
The 27-year-old was announced the winner of the gong at the gala held in Marrakesh, Morocco, on Monday.
The Atalanta star won the prize ahead of Ivory Coast’s Simon Adingra and PSG’s Achraf Hakimi, Guinea striker Serhou Guirassy and South Africa goalkeeper Ronwen Williams.
Lookman has had a fantastic year, being the first player to score a hat-trick in the Europa League/UEFA Cup final since 1975, scoring three goals in 26 minutes against Bayer Leverkusen.
Lookman was named to the Europa League Team of the Year, and he helped La Dea score 18 top-flight goals this season.
