If handled strategically well, an attack of Osimhen, Lookman and Boniface could be formidable at AFCON
If well utilized and not played out of position, Lookman could play a major role in the team.His best position is a support striker.
But the support striker position in the Super Eagles is taken. The true mark of intelligence in international football is versatility.
Lookman has to start proving that he is a seasoned international.
Our support strikers are Iheanacho, Boniface, Aribo and Ahmed Musa.
Lookman better makes that left wing position his own or else he steps aside.
We have player like Ejuke Chidera, Marcus Abraham, Henry Onyekuru and Samuel Kalu to return for world cup qualifiers after the Afcon.
