Ademola Lookman has written his name into the Super Eagles’ history books after becoming one of the team’s top scorers at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. His latest goal at the tournament pushed him into an elite group of Nigerian players who have delivered consistently on the biggest stage in African football.

Lookman’s sharp movement, calm finishing and work rate have made him one of Nigeria’s most important players at AFCON 2025. He has been directly involved in several goals, helping the Super Eagles dominate games and remain among the strongest contenders for the title. Fans and analysts have praised his maturity and leadership on the pitch.

The coaching crew also see Lookman as a major asset because of his ability to score, create chances and stretch opposing defences. His performances have reduced pressure on other forwards and given Nigeria more attacking options, making the team more balanced and dangerous going forward.

With the knockout stages now in full swing, Lookman will be hoping to add more goals and push Nigeria closer to lifting the AFCON trophy. His rise as one of the tournament’s top scorers is a big boost for the Super Eagles and a sign of the team’s growing confidence and ambition.
