President of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, has commended Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman for securing the 14th spot in this year’s Ballon d’Or rankings, unveiled at the ceremony in Paris on Monday night.
Though the prestigious award went to Manchester City’s Rodri, Gusau, in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday, remains confident that Lookman has the potential to climb even higher in future editions.
“The NFF commends Ademola Lookman for this remarkable achievement. We believe he has the potential to finish much higher next year. As the only African on the 30-man shortlist and the second highest-rated player from Serie A, Lookman has already achieved something significant,” he stated.
Lookman’s standout performances, according to him, have earned him widespread recognition.
