‘He has been extraordinary’ - Tottenham star names his best Super Eagles player

Stephen Oladehinde 13:36 - 23.11.2024

Tottenham Hotspur star Dominic Solanke has revealed his best player in the Super Eagles team.

Solanke has always had a connection with Nigerian players playing in England and Europe, following his background.

A few years ago, he was eligible to represent the Super Eagles but instead chose to represent his birth country, England. 

However, he has kept in touch with his heritage and connected with other Super Eagles players.

In an interview with Showmax, via Footboom, Solanke said, "My favourite Nigerian footballer at the moment has to be Ademola Lookman. We are very good friends. What he has done over the last few years has been extraordinary.

"What he has achieved has been phenomenal, particularly for the Nigerian national team, so I was incredibly proud. Another standout for me is Victor Osimhen; he really was one of the best in the world."

Lookman’s performance this season has been tremendous, having scored 11 goals for both club and country.

The player’s form earned him a 14th place on the Ballon d’Or ranking and also made him the favourite to win the CAF POTY award.
