Former Nigerian international Patrick Pascal has told the Confederation of African Football (CAF) that Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman deserves to win the African Player Of The Year Award.
Recall that the Nigerian international was the only African player named in the Ballon d’Or, where he finished 15th on the table.
He has also been in goal-scoring form for Atalanta in the Serie A since the beginning of the season.

Speaking with Brila FM, Pascal stated that CAF will be roasted by journalists if they fail to award Lookman the crown.
“If Ademola Lookman doesn’t win this CAF award, journalists will finish CAF. The whole world will finish them,” he told Brila.
“What are you going to tell people? So Ademola Lookman stands a good chance to win.”
The winner of the award will be announced on December 16 in Marrakesh, Morocco.
