Player to Watch 🌟

Just like two years ago, Ademola Lookman is having an outstanding CAN. In just two matches played, the Atalanta Bergamo forward has already been involved in as many goals (two goals, two assists) as in the last edition, where he reached the final.

Against a surprising Mozambique team, which is experiencing this stage of the competition for the first time in its history, the Super Eagles star will need to shine to prevent an embarrassing exit for his team.

Moreover, if he scores or provides an assist, the Nigerian forward would once again be the most decisive player in the competition ahead of Brahim Diaz and his four goals.
