Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman has disclosed that it was a dream come true to wear the badge of the senior national team.
The Atalanta star, who has been nominated for the CAF Player of the Year award, stated this in an interview with BBC Sports.
He also expressed his delight with the current Eagles squad and hailed his relationship with Victor Osimhen.

“When I first joined the Super Eagles, I’m very glad there was a group of people that welcomed me and were very loving to me and took me in as one of their own,” Lookman told the BBC.
“It’s a dream, and it’s an honour to be here, to be able to wear that badge on my chest.
“We are proud as a group of what we achieved at the AFCON. Now, some people speak Yoruba to me. If somebody wants to tell me something, they tell me in Yoruba. Like Victor Osimhen, he would speak to me in Yoruba. But sometimes, if he says something to me in Yoruba, and I can reply in Yoruba, then I say it.”

We Nigerians are also proud of you.
Let me see how they will not give Lookman the APOTY this year.
How will they explain not giving it to this lad? Dem go explain taya. No evidence.
To avoid unnecessary explanation, the award has to go to Mr. Lookman. Simple.
Was it only lookman who performed well last season in Africa? You should stay home instead of talking soccer.
When it comes to football analysis, I own you.
Segun West aka Ashy Flashy aka Igbekun Abo, how many other Africans were nominated for Ballon D’or?
You should go to the public latrine and rub fecal matter on your head, instead of discussing football.
Ewu Toronto.
