Libya coach, Nasser Al-Hadiri, has hailed Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman, branding him as a world-class player.
According to him, Lookman can make the difference in the absence of Victor Osimhen when Nigeria hosts Libya in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, qualifier on Friday evening.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of the match at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Al-Hadiri told reporters:
“The Nigerian national team is not depending on one player, the whole team of Nigeria is strong not just an individual, it’s the best team in Africa.
“They have a lot of players like Atalanta’s Lookman and others. The whole players are world-class so the absence of Victor Osimhen alone does not make any difference.
“I know that Victor Osimhen is the best player in Africa but he does not make any difference for them.”
