Former Nigeria head coach José Peseiro, a Portuguese tactician, has expressed strong belief that Ademola Lookman has developed into a player capable of matching the influence of Victor Osimhen within the Super Eagles setup.
Peseiro stressed that Lookman’s impact has been just as important in recent tournaments. Lookman, also a Nigerian international, currently represents Atlético Madrid, where his new performances have drawn club praise.
According to the former coach, Lookman’s ability to deliver in decisive moments, combined with his work rate and tactical discipline, has ensured that Nigeria no longer depends on a single attacking outlet. Peseiro emphasized that both players now share responsibility as leaders on the pitch.
Peseiro further pointed to Lookman’s record with the Super Eagles at recent Africa Cup of Nations tournaments as evidence of his rising status. The winger has been among Nigeria’s most productive players, contributing goals and assists across multiple campaigns and playing a central role in the team’s podium finishes.
