Sevilla striker and Super Eagles forward Akor Adams has shed light on the personality of teammate Ademola Lookman, describing the Atalanta star as the quietest player in the Nigeria senior men's national team setup.
In a recent interview, Adams revealed that despite sharing camp life and training sessions with Lookman, he estimates hearing the winger speak only about three times over the course of an entire month.
"Lookman doesn't speak," Adams said. "I think I heard him speak thrice in one month. He is very quiet, very focused. He lets his football do the talking."
The comment underscores Lookman's well-known reserved nature, which contrasts with his explosive performances on the pitch. The 27-year-old forward has established himself as one of Africa's most dangerous attackers, consistently delivering goals and assists for club and country.
Adams, who has developed a close bond with Lookman off the field, described him in warm terms as "like a brother," noting that their interactions often increase around match days and through regular phone calls. He praised Lookman's calm, disciplined approach as fitting for a player of his elite quality.
The revelation comes amid ongoing discussions about team dynamics in the Super Eagles camp, following a strong showing in recent competitions including the Africa Cup of Nations.
Lookman's minimal verbal presence has not diminished his influence, as teammates and coaches alike value his work ethic and ability to lead by example through actions rather than words.
