Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman are in the race for the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Morocco 2025, tournament’s top scorer award.
The Nigerian strikers are currently on 4 and 3 goals respectively, with the Super Eagles having secured a place in the semi-finals of the AFCON.
Osimhen moved to four goals after scoring in Nigeria’s 2-0 quarter-final win over Algeria.
Picking a semi-final spot means both players still have a chance to play two more matches before the tournament ends on Sunday January 18, 2026.
Moroccan Brahim Díaz is currently leading the race for the golden boot with 5 goals as host nation Morocco also to lift the trophy on home soil.
Díaz found the net as Morocco beat Cameroon 2-0 in a high-stakes quarter-final in Rabat, a result that followed Senegal’s narrow 1-0 victory over Mali.
The Real Madrid winger’s latest strike took him to five gials in five matches, a remarkable return that underlines his growing influence at the tournament.
The goal came in front of a packed Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, where Díaz got the decisive touch to Ayoub El Kaabi’s 26th-minute header.
Ismael Saibari later sealed the win, but once again it was Díaz who stole the spotlight, maintaining a perfect scoring run that no other player at the finals has matched so far, with Díaz emerging as the tournament’s most reliable attacking threat.
A group of six players are tied on three goals, including Nigeria’s Ademola Lookman, Côte d’Ivoire winger Amad Diallo, Egypt talisman Mohamed Salah, Algeria captain Riyad Mahrez, Morocco striker Ayoub El Kaabi and Mali forward Lassine Sinayoko.
In total, 61 players have scored at least one goal at the tournament, highlighting both the competitive balance of AFCON 2025 and the variety of attacking threats on display.
