2024 Caf Player Performances That Won It For Lookman

Ademola Lookman, on Monday evening, was deservedly named Africas Player of the Year by the Confederation of African Football CAF. It was a climax to what has been a stellar year for the Nigerian in the colours of both club and country.

Here Afrik-foot.mg captures five of the top performances Lookman put up in 2024 en route to achieving this honour.

After topping their group at the AFCON 2023, the Super Eagles were drawn against rivals Cameroon for the Round of 16 stage.

That encounter was, unsurprisingly, a cagey one. But it was ultimately settled by a relatively comfortable scoreline, 2-0.

Nigeria prevailed, advancing at the expense of their more illustrious neighbours. And it was Lookman who got both goals, finishing from close range each time though it helped that Cameroon goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa made an almighty mess of his attempts to keep the ball out on all two occasions.
