Ademola Lookman Named CAF Men’s Player of the Year
Ademola Lookman’s father has shared insights into why his son was awarded the 2024 CAF Men’s Player of the Year title.
He emphasized that Lookman’s dedication as an athlete played a crucial role in achieving this honor.
Lookman was officially recognized as Africa’s top player during a grand event in Marrakech, Morocco, held on Monday night.
At 27 years old, he becomes the sixth Nigerian to receive this esteemed recognition.
Previously, Victor Osimhen had taken home the same award last year.
Accompanying his son at the event, his father expressed immense pride, highlighting Lookman’s unwavering focus on his game rather than seeking fame.
“As a father, I feel proud because he is a dedicated and humble player who prefers not to seek excessive publicity, wanting instead to concentrate on his football. This dedication has brought him to this level,” he shared with Live Score.
