The guy is good and is destined for a Bigger Club and CAF can avoid any unnecessary controversy by awarding him the best player in Africa 2024….
Can Nigeria’s Coach manage him better with a more creative midfield combination? If the coaching crew can answer the above question properly, then Nigeria will be at the 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP!!!
Where was Lukaku?
Napoli will soon know the difference between sand and garri.
Congratulations to our own Lookman.
You are so right. This is why we need foreign based players in the Super Eagles. They are far better tactically like this Lookman.
God bless you Lookman.Abeg Lukaku play the game?
Yes sir, he was the one the defender stopped before the offensive that led to lookman second goal
Yes now.
I’m so happy with this victory.
Napoli thought they can play with Nigerians.
The ingrates treated Osimhen(Nigerian) badly and happy that Lookman(another Nigerian) put end to the coach unbeaten run.
They are comparing Lukaku with Osimhen not knowing that Osimhen is far better than Lukaku.
