Former Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr is rooting for Ademola Lookman to win the 2024 CAF Awards.
Prompt News reports that Lookman was named in the final five-man shortlist for the prestigious award on Thursday.
Serhou Guirassy, Achraf Hakimi, Rowen Williams and Simon Adingra are the other players nominated for the award.
The 27-year-old is the overwhelming favourite to win the individual accolade.
“He has made a lot of progress. His difficult first seasons in England and Germany are now a thing of the past. He has managed to get back up and shine,” Rohr said to Foot Africa.
“I followed him a few years ago with the Super Eagles. He went from the shadows to the light. Today, he is a complete player, as effective as an assister as he is as a scorer.”
