Crowned best male player at the Confederation of African Football's award ceremony, Lookman reflected on his journey, from a failed penalty to remarkable success.
Lookman stated, 'To be recognised as the best player in Africa is incredible. . . I'm the best player in Africa. I want to say to the young children and people watching this: don't let your failures weigh you down so they break your wings.'
Recalling his low point, he said, 'I couldn't even describe the devastation' after his missed penalty for Fulham, contrasting it with his current achievements.
Lookman embraced his Nigerian roots by wearing an agbada, expressing pride in his culture and emphasizing the importance of turning pain into power.
