Nigeria’s Super Eagles are enjoying impressive recognition at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco, as four of their players have been listed among the tournament’s top ten performers by football analytics platform WhoScored.
Atalanta star Ademola Lookman tops the rankings with an exceptional rating of 8.81, firmly establishing himself as one of the brightest talents in the competition.
The dynamic winger has been a driving force for the Super Eagles, contributing three goals and four assists in just three appearances. His impact has been crucial to Nigeria’s unbeaten run, with the team scoring twelve goals and conceding just four so far.
Trailing Lookman is Egypt’s captain Mohamed Salah with a rating of 8.23, while Senegalese forward Sadio Mané sits third with 7.82. Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen follows closely in fourth place, earning a strong rating of 7.61.
Two more Nigerians make the top ten: forward Akor Adams and midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, both tied in fifth place with a rating of 7.59.
The remainder of the elite list includes:
- Yan Diomande (Ivory Coast) – 7.58
- Riyad Mahrez (Algeria) – 7.55
- Amad Diallo (Ivory Coast) – 7.54
- Brahim Diaz (Morocco) – 7.54
With the AFCON quarter-finals kicking off this Friday, Nigeria will rely heavily on these top performers to maintain their exceptional form. The Super Eagles are set for a crucial showdown against Algeria at the Marrakech Stadium on Saturday as they push for a place in the semi-finals.
