Mikel was widely expected to win the prestigious award in the year after playing a crucial in Chelsea’s UEFA Champions League success.

The midfielder was also instrumental to Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations triumph in the same year.
Former Cote d’Ivoire captain, Toure however won the award for the third consecutive year.

“You deserved it, Obi, to be honest, because in the league, the season was perfect. Nigeria won the AFCON, and you were instrumental in this period,” Toure said Obi One Podcast.

“The thing is, I was told nothing [by CAF] and I said Obi deserved it at the time. If it were me or him [Obi Mikel], it would have been fine, but the big question was me attending the ceremony. If we don’t go there, who’s going to support?
