CAF just announced the last shortlist For Men’s Player Of The Year Award and the obvious two names which are favourite are;

Ademola Lookman (Nigerian & Atalanta) and Victor Boniface (Nigeria & Bayern Leverkusen)

But there's also Brahim Diaz. (Moroccan & Real Madrid) too which is shocking to me because I didn't see him do anything at the last AFCON. People are saying that it's Madrid's PR that is making him be among the last 3 shortlist but what do you guys think and who is winning it. Who do you think deserve the award based on statistics and not favourism

To be honest Ademola Lookman deserves the award. If not him then that would be Victor Boniface. Without any sentiment, Brahim Diaz didnt do anything much in the previous CAF games. His presence was not really felt so i dont know why he would be nominated in the first place as the top 3 choice of the people. I still cant believe that PR on individuals league should be used to judge international PR.

Obviously CAF would not be sentimental o this one. Ademola Lookman is the best African player of the year and he deserves it.

With the three final shortlist by the confederation of African football, the governing body of football in Africa select three outstanding players have been shortlisted to be crown as the best player in the African continent in the year in review, the Nigerian due of Ademola lookman, Victor Boniface and Moroccan Brahim Diaze made the final cut . Let take a look at them.
