Confederation of African Football has named Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong and teammate Ademola Lookman among nominees for the CAF African Player of the Year award.
Lookman, who was the only African nominated for the 2024 Ballon d’Or, made the shortlist alongside Ekong, who was Player of the Tournament as the Eagles came second in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations played earlier this year in Ivory Coast.
