CAF AWARDS: Africa Soccer King, Lookman, Urges Nigerians To Pursue Their Dreams
Newly African soccer king, Ademola Lookman has advised those who may be facing challenges in the realisation of their dreams to remain calm and focused.
“Four years ago, my career felt down but now I’m here as the best player in Africa. Don’t let your failures stop your dreams”, Reuters quoted Lookman as saying.
“This award is a blessing, to be recognised as best player in Africa is something incredible,” he said.
He was named ahead of Morocco’s Achraf Hakimi, Serhou Guirassy of Guinea, Simon Adingra from the Cote d’Ivoire and South Africa goalkeeper Ronwen Williams.
The award is voted for by a panel that includes national team coaches and captains, but no details of the voting tallies were immediately provided.
Lookman is the seventh Nigerian to take the award and succeeds last year’s winner Victor Osimhen.
Nwankwo Kanu (twice), Emmanuel Amuneke, Victor Ikpeba and Rashidi Yekini are the other previous Nigerian winners.
