Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman has moved to dismiss speculation of a falling-out with teammate Victor Osimhen, sharing affectionate photos with the caption “TOGETHER ALWAYS” following Nigeria’s round-of-16 victory over Mozambique at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations.
The Atalanta winger posted the images on his official Instagram page on Tuesday, showing himself alongside Osimhen and defender Bruno Onyemaechi celebrating on the pitch.
The gesture comes amid fan criticism of Osimhen’s visible frustration towards Lookman during Monday’s match, where the striker appeared to vent anger over a player.
Lookman addressed the incident post-match, telling reporters, “It’s just football. It’s always football. He is my brother.”
Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi echoed the sentiment, attributing the exchange to competitive intensity rather than personal discord.
The photos and statements have eased concerns among supporters, highlighting team unity as Nigeria advances in the tournament.
The Super Eagles’ cohesion remains key as they prepare for the quarter-finals, with Lookman and Osimhen’s partnership pivotal to the squad’s attacking threat.
Fans flooded the comments with supportive messages, praising the duo’s brotherhood amid the high-stakes competition.
