Barely 48 hours to the 2024 African Player of the award, Super Eagles defender William Troost Ekong has backed his compatriot Ademola Lookman to win the award.

The Atalanta attacker made the final shortlist alongside Achraf Hakimi, Simon Adingra, Serge Guirassy and Ronwen Williams.

Ekong admitted that Lookman is currently the best player in the continent right now.

 

” I would say he’s arguably our best player and arguably the best player in Africa right now”.

” On December 16, there will be African player ceremony and I’m sure he’s going to win it”.

” This season he’s been something else and at AFCON he was amazing”.

” Everybody saw the hat trick in the Europa League final and there were a lot of rumors about big clubs which I know to be true”.

” If I were any top club right now, I’d want him”, he told talkSPORT.
