Most footballers are on break at the moment, and they are exploring different locations

Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman has shared pictures of himself with Joe Aribo and Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum after game 3 of the NBA final, Soccernet.ng reports.

The European season finished in early June, and Nigerian players are currently on break after the recent international window, when they drew against South Africa and lost to Benin.

Lookman played an active role in both games, but Aribo was not called up. However, both players have kicked off the summer holidays.

In a recent social media post, Lookman has shared a picture of himself with Boston Celtic star Tatum. The picture was taken after the game 3 of NBA finals, which Celtics won 106-99, with Tatum registering 31 points, six rebounds, and five assists.

Lookman and Aribo are not the only Nigerian players who have had encounters with top NBA stars. Super Falcons star Asisat Oshoala also shared shots of herself with Milwaukee Bucks stars Giannis and Thanasis Antetokoumpo.

Usually, during this summer break, most players will go on vacation at different locations across the world. Lookman and Aribo will also do same.

However, they only have just a few weeks, as pre-season activities will begin in July. Aribo will be looking to play an important role for Southampton in the Premier League next season, while Lookman will return to Atalanta if he does not move to another club.
