‘We’re not friends’ – Ademola Lookman snubs Osimhen as he names best pals in Super Eagles 

It is obvious that Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen and Atalanta BC of Italy winger Ademola Lookman are not best friends. Despite both players enjoying the best of football form and being named Africa Footballer of the Year, they have nothing in common off the pitch.

Recently, netizens dragged Victor Osimhen for not congratulating the former Everton forward after being crowned CAF best player of the year. Still, Osimhen who left Napoli of Italy controversially quickly rebutted such claims.

In a new twist, Lookman, has named his best friends within the Nigerian national team and Osimhen’s name is far away from the two great friends in the national team.

FIFA only approved the 27-year-old’s international switch in 2021 but has risen to become one of the key members of the Super Eagles.

At the start of this year, he played an important role in Nigeria’s run to the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Lookman scored twice in the last-16 win over Cameroon and then the winner against Angola in the quarter-finals.

When asked about his close friends in the team, he told ESPN: “I got a few. But I’d probably say the ‘innit’ boys.

“I would say Joe Aribo and Calvin Bassey.”
