‘He was very strong but tended to light up in flashes and at other times would disappear from the game, he was the same in training sessions.
“I worked with him using the patience of an artisan craftsman, what he did in the last few weeks feels like his maturity.
“He wants the ball, participate in the game, and works with his teammates.
Lookman is one of the Super Eagles attackers invited to prosecute the 2026 world cup qualifying games against South Africa and Benin Republic next week.
