Enyeama, Musa for African Player of the Year

Lille of France goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, and CSKA Moscow of Russia striker, Ahmed Musa have been included in the preliminary list for the 2015 African Player of the Year, the Con­federation of Af­rican Foot ball (CAF) an­nounced yesterday.


The CAF released a 37-player list for the African Player of the Year award that included Ivory Coast’s Yaya Toure, who won the title for the last three seasons, Porto’s Algerian winger Yacine Brahimi and Dortmund’s Gabo­nese striker Pierre-Emerick Au­bameyang.

Also are the likes of DR Congo goalkeeper Robert Kidiaba, An­dre Ayew of Ghana.

Sadio Mane of Senegal, Mehdi Benatia (Moroc­co), Al Tayeb Moda­ther ‘Karika’(Sudan), Mohammed Salah (Egypt), Nicolas N’Koulou (Cam­eroon) and Pierre Emerick Aubamey­ang (Gabon) are some of the players who made the cut.

Nigeria’s failure to make any meaningful impact on the con­tinent’s club football scene meant no Nigerian made the list for the Africa-based Player of the Year nomination
