CAF POTY: Lookman Has Done Nigeria Proud –Udeze

Former Nigerian international Ifeanyi Udeze has expressed delight with Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman after he was crowned the African Player of the Year in Morocco.

The Nigerian international saw off competition from Ivory Coast’s Simon Adingra, Guinea’s Serhou Guirassy, Achraf Hakimi of Morocco, and South Africa’s Ronwen Williams.

Lookman is the second consecutive Nigerian to claim the award after Victor Osimhen in 2023.

Reacting to his victory on Brila FM, Udeze stated that the Atalanta star is a worthy recipient of the award.

“Lookman has indeed made Nigeria proud with this award. 

“He’s a player who has gone through a lot during the early days of his football career. His determination has been his strength, like he said in his speech.

“I am happy for his achievement, and I wish him all the best.”
