However, his compatriot and Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong, failed to make the final shortlist.

Cote d’Ivoire’s Simon Adingra, Serhou Guirassy of Guinea, last year runner-up and Moroccan defender Achraf Hakimi, and South African keeper Ronwen Williams were other four nominees for the coveted CAF Player of the Year Top Prize.

The glittering ceremony designed to celebrate African football excellence recognises exceptional performances in both club and national competitions, culminating in the prestigious titles of CAF African Player of the Year in both the men’s and women’s categories.

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.
