Former Nigeria international and former youth team coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, has expressed delight at the growth that Super Eagles player, Ademola Lookman, is amassing.
According to Amuneke, Lookman is demonstrating that he has been able to consolidate himself in African football.
Based on the progress he was making, Amuneke added, he deserved CAF Player of the Year trophy.
In an interview with SportsBoom, he said: “He’s in line (to be crowned CAF Player of the Year winner) if he continues the way he is doing.
“I watched the last game against Rwanda, and his performance was outstanding. It shows that he has been able to consolidate himself in African football.
“When I won it, I think Ikpeba won it again, and then Kanu. If a Nigerian wins it next, it is definitely a joyous one. It’s a thing of great motivation that shows the future is bright for our young players.
“We need to continue to support our players, both in Europe and in our local leagues. We all need one another to form the ecological system that governs our football, for our football to strive.”
