Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman has finished 14th in this year’s Ballon d’Or rankings.

Lookman is the only African player to make the 30-man shortlist this year.

The Atalanta wide made the cut after a sensational campaign with club and country.

He was named the Serie A club’s Player of the Year, finishing the campaign with 11 goals and seven assists in 31 league outings.

Lookman caught the eye of Europe after he netted a hat-trick in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen, who came into the game unbeaten.

Last year, Lookman’s compatriot Victor Osimhen finished in 8th place in the voting.

The 25-year-old is expected to be named the African Footballer of the Year in December this year.
