Super Eagles forwards Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman are among the standout performers at the ongoing AFCON 2025 tournament, currently leading the scoring and assists charts.
According to the latest stats, Osimhen sits second on the goalscorers list with 4 goals, just one behind Morocco’s Brahim Díaz, who leads with 5 goals. Close behind is Ademola Lookman, who has netted 3 goals, placing him third overall.
But it is Lookman’s creativity that truly stands out. The in-form attacker tops the assists chart with 4 assists, ahead of Senegalese star Sadio Mané with 3 assists, and fellow Nigerian Akor Adams, who has registered 2 assists.
The Super Eagles’ attacking trio has played a pivotal role in Nigeria’s strong run in the tournament, helping the team secure a semi-final berth after a commanding 2–0 victory over Algeria.
As Nigeria gears up for a crucial clash against hosts Morocco in the semi-finals, the form of Osimhen and Lookman will be vital to the team’s title ambitions. Their combined goals and assists underline the attacking strength Nigeria is bringing to the tournament.
