Ademola Lookman has said he will bring his A game to this year’s Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire.
The tournament will kickoff next Saturday with the opening game between hosts Côte d’Ivoire and Guinea-Bissau.
The Eagles will begin their campaign on Sunday, 14 January against Equatorial Guinea.
Lookman will feature in his first appearance at a major tournament for Nigeria.
Speaking on the preparations Lookman, I’m a chat on NFF TV, said:”Just like the rest of my teammates, we are all prepared, it’s been a few good days training here in Abu Dhabi preparing for the AFCON and obviously getting the mindset to do big things in Ivory Coast.
“Just like everyone, I want to give my best for the team, to bring my A game to this tournament, for Nigeria and for the fans and we will see where that takes us.”
The Atalanta forward added:“As a squad and as a team we are together and we believe in ourselves that’s the mindset.”
Meanwhile, in a test game against a local club side in Abu Dhabi on Sunday the Eagles won 12-0.
Lookman scored four goals, Victor Osimhen, Umar Sadiq, Moses Simon each bagged a brace and the opposition had two own goals.
On Monday, the Eagles will face Guinea in a friendly and return to Nigeria on Tuesday.
