Lookman targets AFCON glory with Super Eagles

Ademola Lookman has reiterated his ambition to play a decisive role in Nigeria’s quest for glory at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Atalanta winger, one of the standout performers of the tournament in Morocco, will be keen to make his impact felt when the Super Eagles face hosts Morocco in Wednesday’s semi-final at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.

With three goals already to his name, Lookman said that personal achievements mean little to him, stressing that his sole focus remains helping Nigeria lift the AFCON trophy.

“I’m always focused on the present and, at the moment, the present is being here in Morocco for AFCON and trying to help my country win the tournament.
