Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alex Iwobi

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alex Iwobi have been nominated for the Confederation of African Football’s African Player of the Year award.

Our duo made the shortlist decided by votes from the members of the CAF media committee, technical and development committee and a panel of experts. 

The awards gala, which honours footballers and officials who distinguished themselves over the past 12 months, will be hold on Tuesday, January 8 in Dakar, Senegal.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah won the award last year, after an impressive debut campaign for the Reds.
