Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman finished 14th in the 2024 Ballon d’Or rankings on Monday night.

This means he is the third-highest-ranked Nigerian player in the history of the awards.

Victor Osimhen, who is on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, remains the highest-ranked.

Osimhen finished 8th last year after he helped the Serie A club win the title.

Nwankwo Kanu is in second place after he ranked 11th in the 1996 Ballon d’Or.

Highest-ranked Nigerians in Ballon d’Or history:

Victor Osimhen – 8th

Nwankwo Kanu – 11th

Ademola Lookman – 14th

Finidi George – 21st

Nwankwo Kanu – 23rd

Victor Ikpeba – 32nd
