Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman has continued his impressive form by earning a nomination for the EA SPORTS FC Team of the Year.
The 27-year-old Atalanta star, recently crowned the 2024 CAF Player of the Year, is the only Nigerian male player on the 70-man shortlist. Lookman led Atalanta to the UEFA Europa League title with a hat trick in the final and played a key role in Nigeria’s journey to the AFCON final.
The 70-man list reads like a who’s who in world football and includes Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The other African footballers on the list are 2024 CAF POTY nominee Sehrou Guirassy of Guinea and Borussia Dortmund; Wilfried Singo of Cote d’Ivoire and AS Monaco; and Mohamed Salah of Egypt and Liverpool.
