Ademola Lookman is determined to beat his compatriot, Victor Osimhen, to the top scorer’s award in Serie A this season.

No African player has claimed the honor in the annals of the Italian top flight.

Osimhen and Lookman currently occupy the first and second positions on the chart, respectively.

Napoli forward Osimhen has scored 13 times in 15 league appearances.

Lookman, on the other hand, has scored 11 goals in 18 outings for Atalanta.

The 25-year-old is, however, confident he can turn the tables on his international teammate.

”I used to think about the future; you can get caught up in the future, and the future will always come, but the now is the most important,” Lookman told the Athletic.

“Nah, not when he (Osimhen) is above you, anyway.

“I will catch him. Not I might, I will.”

The duo will be in action for their respective clubs this weekend.
