The former Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro has congratulated the newly crowned African player of the year Ademola Lookman.
The Nigerian forward was crowned as the best in the continent on Monday in Marakech, Morocco.

“Congratulations @molalookman on winning the CAF Player of the Year 2024 award! A well-deserved recognition of your incredible talent and your significance to Nigeria and African football,” Peseiro wrote on X.
“It is also important to highlight the role of the Nigerian national team, whose collective efforts contributed to this individual award, as well as the remarkable achievement of a Super Eagle winning the award for the second consecutive year, following @victorosimhen9 victory last year.
Many congratulations,” he added.
