Victor Ikpeba, a former forward for the Super Eagles, has expressed his thoughts on Ademola Lookman’s performance for the national team, particularly in Nigeria’s most recent 4-1 victory over Gabon. Lookman, the current African Footballer of the Year, played poorly in Nigeria’s convincing 4-1 victory over Gabon on Thursday. Lookman and Chukwueze began the match against the Panthers in a 4-4-2 configuration, but both were pulled after the hour mark after failing to have an effect.Moses Simon replaced Lookman, and Chidera Ejuke took Chukwueze’s position. Lookman, who missed the beginning of the season due to transfer concerns, is still trying to get back to shape, according to Ikpeba. Ikpeba stated on SuperSport, “I would like to see more from Lookman; we have not seen the Lookman of old.” “We recognize that he lacks match fitness and that form is still lacking. “We need to see more from players like Chukwueze and Lookman.”The Super Eagles did not put on their winning sneakers against the Panthers until extra time. After a 1-1 draw at the end of the first half, Gabon lost badly to Nigeria in Rabat on Thursday thanks to two goals from Victor Osimhen and an earlier goal from Chidera Ejuke. Gabon’s lone goal was scored by Mario Lemina to offset Nigeria’s opening goal by Adams Akor. Nigeria will now play DR Congo in the World Cup qualifying playoff final on Sunday.
