• The Atalanta winger is expected to star for Nigeria
• Nigeria will face Equatorial Guinea in their opener

Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman and his Super Eagles teammates are enjoying their time at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations even before their first game on Monday.

The 26-year-old and the Nigeria national team arrived in Cote d'Ivoire on Wednesday as preparations began ahead of their opening game against Equatorial Guinea.

The three-time African champions are eyeing a fourth success in Ivory Coast despite losing some of their key players to injury.

A lot of pressure will be on Lookman and Victor Osimhen, two of Serie A's best forwards, if Nigeria is to excel at AFCON 2023.

Meanwhile, before their first game, the players had a good time together at their hotel with the Atalanta attacker performing Asake's hit record Lonely at the Top.
