Oliseh Picks Lookman Over Osimhen as Nigeria's Key Player at AFCON

Former Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has named Ademola Lookman as Nigeria's key player at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, overlooking top striker Victor Osimhen. Osimhen has scored four goals in the tournament, closing in on Rashidi Yekini's record.

Oliseh praised Lookman's attacking prowess but failed to mention Osimhen's contributions. Meanwhile, Nigerian sport journalist Idowu Ojomu stated that Osimhen is not bothered by Oliseh's snub.

Jose Mourinho described Atalanta as the best team in Africa, setting the stage for an exciting semifinal clash.
