Enyeama And Musa Makes List For African Footballer Of The Year Award

The Confederation of African Football have
released their 37-man list of nominees for
the 2015 African Player of the Year award.



Two Nigerian players made it to the list,the two players have been in
blistering form for their respective
clubs this term with Musa scoring ten
goals in all competitions for his
Russian club, CSKA Moscow, while
Enyeama has kept five clean sheets in
six Ligue 1 games for his French side
Lille who are 12th on the log.
The list of nominees released by CAF
on Sunday is dominated by Algerian
players with six footballers from the
North African country in the squad
even though they failed to make an
impact at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Ivory Coast, who finished top at the
tournament in Equatorial Guinea,
have four players in the shortlist with
Yaya Toure leading the pack from the
West African country.
The Ghanaian duo of Christian Atsu
and Andre Ayew also made the star-
studded shortlist.
Musa and Enyeama were also
shortlisted last year with Enyeama
making it to the final shortlist of
three.
It is yet to be seen if either of the two
Nigerian players will finally end the
long wait for the country as no
Nigerian player has won the top prize
since 2000 when Kanu Nwankwo was
voted the best on the continent,
Meanwhile, the present 37-man list
will be pruned down to 10 by next
month before it is further reduced to
five and then the final three before
the award ceremony is held.
Yaya Toure has won this prestigious
award four times including in the last
three straight years.
