Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman has secured a nomination for the prestigious 2024 Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, Soccernet.ng reports .

Lookman, 27, is nominated alongside global icons like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as top Premier League stars including Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and Chelseas Cole Palmer.

His phenomenal performances with Atalanta have earned him a place in the Best Mens Player category, where he competes against other luminaries such as Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, and Mohamed Salah.

Interestingly, as was the case at the Ballon dOr, Lookman is the only African nominee on the Globe Soccer Awards shortlist.

Lookman's contribution was vital in leading Atalanta to their historic first UEFA Europa League title, where he scored a hat-trick in a 2-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the final.
