Ademola Lookman Unfazed by CAF Award Pressure

Date:

Super Eagles star boy, Ademola Lookman says that he is unaffected by the pressure surrounding the upcoming CAF awards.

Lookman was shortlisted alongside Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong, PSG and Morocco defender, Achraf Hakimi, amongst others.

However, the in-form Atalanta forward has been voted the favorite to win the award.

The 27-year-old explains that his focus remains on maintaining his work ethic and giving his best on the pitch.

“I don’t think I’m feeling any additional pressure. I think I’ve kept the same mindset, kept the same work ethic, and that’s just to do my best.”

”I try to improve every single day, and if I can win the award, it’ll be special for me, my family, my people, and my country. But that’s the future, and right now, I need to focus on doing my best.”

Ademola Lookman has been linked to several big clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, following his outstanding and award winning 2023/24 season.

He was recently ranked the 14th best player in the 2024 Ballon D’or Award Ceremony in Paris where Manchester City’s Rodri emerged the winner, edging out Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior for the global award.

This season, Lookman has already notched seven goals and five assists in 11 appearances for Atalanta, six of those goals coming in Serie A and one in the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League.
