Osimhen, Lookman up for Serie A Player of the Month Award

Super Eagles duo, Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman are among the five players nominated for the Serie A Player of the Month for October.

The Nigerian stars scored vital goals for their respective clubs in the month.

Osimhen was particularly in devastating form after returning from the injury which ruled him out of action in September.

The 23-year-old hit the back of the net five times in three league appearances in the month of October.

Osimhen scored once against Bologna and fired home a stunner in the 1-0 away win against AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.

He then netted a hat-trick in the 4-0 win against Sassuolo last weekend.

Lookman on his part, registered four goals in five appearances for Atalanta in October.

The pacy winger was on target against Fiorentina, Udinese, Sassuolo and Empoli.

The duo will battle AC Milan’s Rafael Leao, Inter Milan’s midfielder, Nicolo Barella and Lazio star, Sergej Milinkovic- Savic for the individual prize.
