Ademola Lookman, a forward for the Super Eagles, has won the Ghana Football Awards’ “Best African International Footballer” title.

Lookman’s versatility was evident in his contribution to Atalanta’s UEFA Europa League triumph this year, a testament to his superlative skills in the forward line of play.

In the crucial final match against Bayer Leverkusen, Lookman’s performance was exceptional, scoring a hat-trick in La Dea’s 3-0 victory.

Ademola Lookman also voted “Nigerian Football Fans! Player of the Season.

The former Leicester City player took home the honor ahead of Burkinabe sensation Edmund Tapsoba and his international colleague Victor Osimhen.

Ademola Olajade Alade Aylola Lookman was born on 20 October 1997 in Wandsworth, Greater London, to parents of Nigerian descent. He played for England until 2022 when he opted to play for Nigeria. At various times, he played in the English Premier League with Everton and Leicester and now in Serie A for Italian championship winner Atalanta.
