Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman has dismissed reports of a fallout with teammate Victor Osimhen following their recent match, insisting there is no issue between them and that the team’s victory remains the priority.

Speaking after the game, Lookman revealed that he has not spoken to Osimhen since the encounter but stressed that there is no cause for concern.

“I haven’t talked to Victor Osimhen since the game. But what matters is that we won. He is a top player and very important to our team. For me, there is no big issue,” Lookman was quoted as saying by respected journalist Osasu Obayiuwana.

The comments come after footage circulated online showing Osimhen appearing visibly frustrated with Lookman, allegedly over a delay in releasing the ball during a promising attacking move. The moment sparked speculation among fans about a possible disagreement between the two key players.

However, Lookman has since clarified the situation in another video, firmly denying any altercation. According to him, what transpired on the pitch was simply a normal discussion between teammates during the heat of the game, not a dispute.

The development has reassured fans, many of whom have called for unity and focus within the Super Eagles camp as the team continues its campaign. Supporters across the country have also expressed hope that distractions will not derail the squad’s progress.
