Ademola Lookman has been crowned the 2024 CAF Men’s Player of the Year.
The Nigerian triumphed over Simon Adingra, Achraf Hakimi, Rowen Williams, and Serhou Guirassy to claim the prestigious award.
Atalanta’s forward, Lookman, succeeds his fellow Nigerian, Victor Osimhen, who was the recipient of the award last year.
The 27-year-old made a significant impact for Nigeria during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.
The talented winger netted three goals and provided one assist in the competition, with the Super Eagles securing second place.
He also achieved a historic hat-trick for Serie A club Atalanta in the final of the UEFA Europa League.
