Despite Adingra being one of his players, Fae believes Lookman's performances at both the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and the UEFA Europa League give him a distinct advantage.
What Fae said
"I wish it’s Adingra because he’s my player, but Ademola Lookman deserves it, he played very well and scored goals at the AFCON and also did well for his club Atalanta, scoring three goals in the Europa League finals," Fae told Ojb Sports.
