Lookman has been quite outstanding despite rash treatments from the manager after missing the spot kick duties during the champions league knock out stage. I feel like he dropped after all that but still has his head high up finishing as the second highest goal scorer for his club. I'm super proud of him.
Osimhen do not need PR like the one Yamal is having currently for the Ballon d'Or. Victor Osimhen did with a lesser team ( Napoli ), yes? He was nominated for the Ballon d'Or and was amongst the best 10 list of players that season they won the league 1. Well. He needs yo leave for a bigger club and I'd say Chelsea. He fits in perfectly for them.
Mo Salah also deserves that Ballon d'Or with his numbers, but sadly, he was knocked out of the Champions League Competition early enough.
He might be a defender but I think Achraf Hakimi should also be on the list of best players globally. The Moroccan player has contributed in no small measure to the success of the French side PSG. As a defender has also been scoring some important goals for his club like the one against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. I think he would be nominated as the best player in Africa if PSG finally wins the Champions League. Mo Salah, Victor Osimhem and Ademola Lookman all had splendid seasons in their respective clubs.
A lot of African players helped their respective clubs win their league title, and some ended up winning the top scorer in the league they played, which will make it difficult to choose the next African best player because we have so many players who fit in to win the African best player award. Hakimi wouldn't only be nominated as the African best player if Paris Saint Germain wins the UEFA Champions League trophy, but the UEFA Champions League trophy will give Hakimi the edge to win the award over other nominated African players.
