It is quite surprising that Nigerian captain John Mikel Obi,who helped

his country side to win the bronze medal at the Rio Olympics didnt

make the shortlist for African player of the year.



Manchester city star Kelechi Iheanacho and Arsenal rising talent Alex

Iwobi were also snubbed.



Gabon international Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is been nominated for

the fourth consecutive year.



Leicester City and Algeria star Riyad Mahrez also made the list

together with the Ivorian Legend Yaya Toure who has currently fallen

out of favour with coach,Pep Guardiola.



Liverpool/Senegal's forward Sadio Mane and Ghana star Andrew Ayew

completed the five man shortlist.



The winner will be declared on December 12
