Halfway through the year 2024, Ademola Lookman remains one of the strong contenders to be crowned the next CAF Africa Footballer of the Year .
It has been an eventful last six months for Lookman who began the year in style at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cote dIvoire.
In only his maiden appearance at the continental championships, the Atalanta forward fired three goals and added an assist to help Nigeria claim a silver medal. He was deservedly named in the Team of the Tournament.
The former RB Leipzig star returned to Italy with renewed confidence, which was evident as Atalanta reached the final of the Copa Italia and the Europa League.
Atalanta lost to Juventus in the cup final but Lookman ensured the Goddess adventure in the Europa League ended in glory.
