He was presented with the award at a ceremony held by CAF in Marrakech, Morocco.

The 27-year-old, who plays for Atalanta in Italy at the club level, was honored for his outstanding performances with both his club and the Super Eagles.
Ademola Lookman had enjoyed a fantastic year under review, being consistent across both club and national football, making the ultimate choice for the award.
