Super Eagles' winger Ademola Lookman is the “absolute favourite” to replace Victor Osimhen as Africa’s best player for 2024, according to leading Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport reports.
Osimhen's successor will be known tonight at the CAF Awards which takes place in Marrakech, Morocco.
The respected Italian sports outlet said Lookman's Europa League final heroics will give him the edge over Achraf Hakimi (Morocco and PSG) and Serhou Guirassy (Guinea and Borussia Dortmund).
Lookman was the only African nominated for this year’s Ballon d’Or.
He eventually finished 14th on a final 30-man short list.
