Well deserved award. Congratulations to Ademola Lookman for his relentless efforts since Atalanta won the Europa league last season he has been very consistent in performance, comports himself, humbles himself, has a good relationship with his teammates and coaches. There could not have been anyone that worth the award this year other than Lookman. It's a win win for Nigeria at large because it's not easy to win the prestigious award for last season by Victor Osimhen (Nigerian) and this season, Ademola Lookman (Nigerian) also win the award.
