Ademola Lookman is the new king of Africa. The Confederation of African (CAF) organized its major individual trophy ceremony this Monday evening at the Movenpick Palais des Congrès in Marrakech.

Nigerian striker from Atalanta de Bergamo, Ademola Lookman was voted African Ballon d’Or by his peers. The 27-year-old is ahead of players like Achraf Hakimi and Serhou Guirassy. The last finalist of the African Cup of Nations did not hide his joy and emotion after receiving the trophy.

“I want to thank everyone for their support and the love they gave me. I thank my family and my nation who recognized me as the best player in Africa. It’s incredible for me, I I’m proud of it,” he said on stage.

Ademola Lookman has moved into another dimension for several months but even more so with this individual title. The current strongman of Atalanta sees his rating in Europe rise and could leave the Déa in the coming months or even weeks.
