Mo Salah and Victor Osimhen have been in top form, but if PSG wins the UEFA Champions League, Achraf Hakimi might end up becoming the African footballer of the year. The right-back has contributed in no small measure to the success of the French outfit.
He narrowly missed it last year to Ademola Lookman. But this time, the Moroccans have won almost all competitions this year (if they beat Inter Milan). Winning the Champions League would make him get more votes since it is a prestigious competition. He has been voted as the best African player in France winning the Marc-Vivien Foé Prize. This award might also increase his chances of winning the African best award.
Hakimi also deserves the award, I will not say it is any form of robbery to Victor Osimhen because the Champions league is a more relevant competition than the Turkish league. Ola players also in Africa also need to know that they would have an opportunity to win the award too if they put in their best performance for their club.
The award is not for only a set of persons.
