Two-time Africa Player of the Year Nwankwo Kanu has endorsed Ademola Lookman to be crowned as the continent’s best player next month.
The CAF Awards ceremony will be staged on December 16 in Marrakech, Morocco.
Ademola Lookman and William Ekong have been named among the top 10 nominees for the prestigious gong.
“Lookman is a very good player, humble, works very hard and going by the records, I believe he will win,” Kanu said.
“I don’t know of any African player who has done better than him this year.
“He was ranked well in the Ballon d’Or (14th).
“He has done well for both club and country.”
Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman has also received the endorsement of both Emmanuel Amuneke and Victor Ikpeba, who have previously been crowned best players in Africa by CAF.
Victor Osimhen is the reigning African Player of the Year.
