Ademola Lookman has said his target is not to become the highest goal scorer at this year’s AFCON but rather to help the Super Eagles to continue doing well.
Lookman has been one of the standout performers in Morocco as the Super Eagles reached the quarter-finals after a dominant 4-0 win against Mozambique.
The former African Player of the Year scored one and provided assists for Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams in the victory.

He has now scored three goals for the Super Eagles at this year’s tournament.
But when asked if he has his eyes on the top scorer award, Lookman simply replied:”No.”
“Personally I’m just thinking about the team, now we are in the quarter-finals our next opponent is going to be another strong team. We scored four goals, another big performance for the team so that’s what I care about.”
Lookman has now equaled his tally at the 2023 AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire and there is the possibility of him surpassing it in Morocco.

Lookman dont worry all nigerians are behind you…but next time if osimhen yell at you abeg wear am better five for face…
He has not right to yell at you that way…you not his boy…
How can he be yelling at our assist king..our utility player..if you put osimhen and lookman I will pick lookman…cos in him I am sure of assist, goals, he can dribble and he fights for the ball when he is not in possession…
