Former Nigerian striker Obafemi Martins has showered praise on Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman, recognizing his remarkable talent and consistency. Lookman, who plays for Italian club Atalanta, recently received the prestigious African Player of the Year award from CAF.

Martins shared that watching Lookman reminds him of how he played during his career. “Every time I watch him, I think about me and the way I used to play,” Martins admitted, highlighting the winger’s creativity and skill on the field.

The former footballer believes that Lookman’s consistent performances for both his club and the Nigerian national team make him capable of thriving in the Premier League. Martins mentioned Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool as potential clubs where Lookman could make a significant impact.

Lookman’s growing reputation as a talented and hardworking player continues to inspire admiration from fans and fellow players. With Martins’ glowing endorsement, the Atalanta winger’s future looks bright, and many will be eager to see what he achieves next in his football journey.

“He’s one of my favourite players as well. My favourite striker, because every time I watch him, I just think about me and the way I used to play, but he’s probably better with the techniques and everything. He knows how to score goals as well, so I’m very happy for him, and I think he can do better.

The way he plays, he can play in the top teams in the Premier League, like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United. I don’t know about Chelsea,” he told Livescore.
