When the stars aligned for Ademola Olajade Alade Aylola Lookman on a stellar European night, it was a constellation with a ticker-tape parade in the Dublin skies. English-born, but Nigerian in heart, soul and grit. That Dublin night was a spectacular collision of time and chance. And when Destiny chose the biggest stage of his football career thus far, Xabi Alonso’s Invincibles were left to wonder what might have been.
Charlton, Everton. RB Leipzig. England’s Three Lions. These teams would be left to wonder what they missed. Once a rough diamond, he’s now a precious gem courted by Europe’s elites. Lookman’s exploits are a testament to the power of discipline, persistence and hard work, noted international football journalist and broadcaster, Osasu Obayiuwana.
“We still have another six months to go and it’s difficult to assess whether he would still be the most dominant player of one of Africa’s most dominant players in Europe by the end of the year. So, we’ll just have to see how well he does in the opening months of the new season. But he’s certainly a contender.”
