Ballon d'Or 2024: Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman makes 30-man shortlist

Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman has made the 30-man shortlist of nominees for the 2024 Ballon d'Or award.

Lookman has been selected among world-class players like Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr in a list unveiled by the organisers on Wednesday.

The Atalanta forward made headlines around the world after he scored a remarkable hat-trick as the Serie A side beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the Europa League final.

Lookman also shone for the Super Eagles at the AFCON earlier this year, scoring three goals as Nigeria finished runners-up behind hosts Ivory Coast.

Last year, his international teammate Victor Osimhen finished in 8th place in the Ballon d'Or final rankings.

Lookman was linked with Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain this summer but ended up staying with Atalanta.
