Hakimi needed just last trophy to push him ahead of the CAF award contenders, if PSG had won the Club World Cup, definitely it won't be a competition anymore. Despite, considering PSG achievement and Hakimi as a co/major contributor in his team, Hakimi might be given a head chance of winning the award, Osimhen did very well but i don't think everyone agrees Galatasaray league to be competitive allowing him score such number of goals, unlike Premier League and French League. Regardless, all three are still up there and we can't detect finally who wins.
Achraf Hakimi deserves to be the African footballer of the year. As a defender, he even scored more goals and gave more assists than some strikers. He also won more trophies than all the contenders for the award. Muhammad Salah and Victor Osimhen all had good seasons, but their success cannot be compared to someone who wins all the domestic leagues in the French Ligue One, the prestigious UEFA Champions League, and came second in the FIFA World Club competition. He came second to Ademola Lookman last year and he deserves it this time.
