By Monsurah Olatunji
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the Super Eagles have congratulated Ademola Lookman on his latest accolade.
The Atalanta forward was honoured as the Best African International Footballer on the continent at the prestigious Ghana Football Awards last weekend.
The 26-year-old’s recognition was as a result of his impressive form for club and country.
He became the first player to score three goals in a competitive UEFA final as Atalanta defeated Bayer Leverkusen to be crowned Europa League champions.
Lookman was also a pivotal figure as the national team reached the final of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) where he scored three goals during the tournament.
“Our own @Alookman_ was honoured last weekend at the Ghana Football Awards as the Best African Footballer on the continent. Congratulations @molalookman and thank you Ghana Football Awards,” the tweet read.
