Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman has been nominated for the 2024 Best Men’s Player award at the annual Globe Soccer Awards, hosted by the Dubai Sports Council.
The announcement was made on Thursday by the Globe Soccer Awards via X. Lookman, a former Leicester City and RB Leipzig player now thriving with Atalanta in Serie A, is listed alongside football legends like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé, and Erling Haaland.
The nominee list features a blend of seasoned stars and rising talents from Europe’s top leagues. Representing English football, Manchester City’s Phil Foden, Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham, and Chelsea’s Cole Palmer are among the nominees.
Messi and Ronaldo have also secured their places on the list again, underscoring their ongoing influence in the sport even as they near the later stages of their careers.
This year’s nominees bring intense competition, with Bundesliga’s Robert Lewandowski, Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sané, and Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka all vying for the title. Barcelona’s emerging star, Lamine Yamal, has also been nominated, along with La Liga’s Federico Valverde, Vinícius Júnior, and Alejandro Grimaldo, representing Spain’s football excellence.
The Globe Soccer Awards noted, “The nominees with the highest number of votes will form the shortlist of finalists in this category.”
The 15th edition of the Beyond Development Dubai #GlobeSoccer Awards will be held on 27th December, in conjunction with the 19th Dubai International Sports Conference, in partnership with the Dubai Sports Council.
