Maybe they are just trying to force his name into the list because I know that I did not even notice that Brahim Diaz was an African footballer, he was not influential in any way for Real Madrid last season and did not help them win in any competition they played in. The obvious winner is Ademola Lookman, his three goals in the Europa finals was a new record he set. If however for any reason they decide not to give it to Ademola Lookman, the next best person for the position is Victor Boniface because he was a part of the Bayer Leverkusen invisibles from last season. Diaz should not be on that list.
