YAYA TOURE WINS CAF’S AFRICAN PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Manchester City and Ivory Coast midfield star Yaya Toure on Thursday became the first player to win four successive African Footballer of the Year awards.
The 31-year-old beat off the challenge of Gabon and Borussia Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, who plays for Lille in France.
Toure equalled Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o as a four-time winner, but he is the first to claim four awards in a row. [AFP]
