Victor Osimhen has fired back at Nigerian football fans who accused him of not publicly congratulating Ademola Lookman after he won the 2024 CAF Men's Player of the Year Award.

Lookman received his award in Marrakech, Morocco, on Monday evening, edging competition from Achraf Hakimi, Serhou Guirassy, Simon Adingra and Ronwen Williams.

His triumph means that he succeeded his compatriot Osimhen, who won the award last year after his performances for Napoli in their title-winning 2022/23 season.
