He was actually unmatched by any other African player out there last season, and even uptil this moment,  when the list of players, I mean the potential winners of this year African best came out, I was discussing with a guy in my neighborhood that it's a one way victory for ademola lookman, because he is actually miles ahead of the rest in terms of achievement, numbers, goals/assist and even form presently, so in my own opinion, it's very much deserving for him to be crown this year African best.
Then as for his outing against real madrid this past week, it was very obvious that he was the most potent Atalanta player out there, which carries the highest goal threat, though he actually got a goal for himself, but it wasn't enough to stop them from losing to Madrid, but nevertheless a big congratulations to him, because it's well deserved.
