AFCON 2023: Why Ademola Lookman has been more clinical than Osimhen in Cote d'Ivoire


By Our Correspondent

Ademola Lookman has been exceptional for the Super Eagles of Nigeria at AFCON 2023, outshining star striker Victor Osimhen.

Lookman has scored 3 goals at AFCON 2023, lifting the Super Eagles of Nigeria over Cameroon and Angola, to book a place in the semi-finals.

We look at three reasons why the Atalanta man has been on fire, compared to Victor Osimhen who has scored just once in 5 games.

Lookman starts the game stationed on the inside left of a three-pronged attack alongside Osimhen and Moses Simon, but the 24-year-old has the freedom to drift around the pitch looking for pockets of space to do damage.

However,  Osimhen, being the danger-man, remains under the watchful eye of the defenders, with little space to operate which often leaves him isolated and unable to impact the game like we know he can.
