Speaking at the event, Lookman dedicated the award to his teammates, family, and the fans who have supported him throughout his career.
The Atalanta star won the prize ahead of Ivory Coast’s Simon Adingra and PSG’s Achraf Hakimi, Guinea striker Serhou Guirassy, and South Africa goalkeeper Ronwen Williams.
Lookman, who became the first player to score a hat-trick in the Europa League/UEFA Cup final since 1975, netting three goals within 26 minutes against Bayer Leverkusen, has had an incredible year.
The 27-year-old was included in the Team of the Year for the Europa League and ended the season having had a direct hand in 18 top-flight goals for La Dea.
Lookman was ranked the 14th best player during the Ballon d’Or gala on October 28.
