Nigeria and Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman has won the 2024 CAF African Footballer of the Year.
The 27-year-old was named the winner at a ceremony held at the Palais des Congrès in Marrakech, Morocco, on Monday.
He beat Achraf Hakimi (Morocco/PSG), Simon Adingra (Ivory Coast/Brighton), Serhou Guirassy (Guinea/Borussia Dortmund), and Ronwen Williams (South Africa/Mamelodi Sundowns) to clinch the title.
Lookman now joins other Nigerian greats like Rashidi Yekini (1993), Emmanuel Amuneke (1994), Nwankwo Kanu (1996 and 1999), Victor Ikpeba (1997), and Victor Osimhen (2023), who had won the award.
