The Confederation of African Football on Monday officially unveiled the top five nominees in each of the men’s categories of the CAF Awards scheduled for next month in in Marrakech, Morocco.
However, Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong, could not make the cut after he was initially shortlised among the top 10.
Lookman who finished 14th in the 2024 Ballon d'Or is favoured to win the award which is held by compatriot, Victor Osimhen.
Recall that Lookman posted an outstanding performance last season.
He scored three goals to help Nigeria reached the final of the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
The 2017 FIFA U20 World Cup winner with England made history by scoring a hat-trick in the final of the 2024 UEFA Europa League which helped his club to lift the trophy at the expense of Bayer Leverkusen last season.
A total of seven categories have been confirmed by CAF in the Men’s category of the awards, shortlisting the five top performing players, coaches and teams in each of the categories.
Other categories announced include Goalkeeper of the Year, Interclub Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, Young Player of the Year, Club of the Year, National Team of the Year.
Meanwhile, the remaining four contenders for the Men's Player of the Year award are Simon Adingra [Cote d’Ivoire/Brighton]; Serhou Guirassy [Guinea / Borussia Dortmund]; Achraf Hakimi (Morocco/PSG] and Ronwen Williams of South Africa/Mamelodi Sundowns.

Victor Osimhen scored twice as Galatasaray inflicted a first Europa League defeat of the season against 10-man Tottenham Hotspur in Istanbul, reports BBC Sport.
Teenage forward Will Lankshear was dismissed for two yellow cards on the hour mark for Spurs, having earlier scored his first senior goal for the club in only his second start.
However, by that stage the visitors should have been out of sight with the final scoreline barely reflective of an encounter that was dominated by the hosts.
Tottenham's woeful attempts to play out from the back and their shambolic defending ensured that they endured a trying evening in a destination that is notorious for its hostile atmosphere.
Yunus Akgun's sixth-minute effort was the precursor of what was to follow, with the Turkey midfielder dispatching a wonderful left-foot volley past Spurs goalkeeper Fraser Forster from 20 yards.
While 19-year-old Lankshear levelled from close range after being teed up by Brennan Johnson, the way in which Tottenham repeatedly gifted possession and goalscoring opportunities to their opponents will place scrutiny on manager Ange Postecoglou's decision to begin with six first-choice players on the bench.
An error from central defender Radu Dragusin contributed to Osimhen's first goal of the evening, with the on-loan Napoli forward reacting sharply to a Dries Mertens pass to poke a right-foot effort past Forster into the right corner.
Osimhen's second also came courtesy of the Belgian playmaker, with Mertens' right-wing delivery expertly turned home by the unmarked Nigerian international from eight yards.
While substitute Dominic Solanke tapped in from Pedro Porro's pass - nine minutes after Lankshear's departure - to give the score an air of respectability, in truth the visitors were well beaten.
Only some profligate finishing and several excellent saves from Forster prevented Okan Buruk's team from the emphatic victory they richly deserved.
Meanwhile, Osimhen, 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup winner, has scored six goals in his last five games for The Lions
