Our lookman is a winner of the best “African footballer of the year 2024 award.”
Lookman has elevated and lifted our heads as Nigerians in all the football World , so NFF should take care of local players who will grow in our beloved country so that they will go to Europe and can do as Lookman did yesterday…
