One of the factors that may count against him is his performance at National team level,as he (Aubameyang) has not really reciprocated his performance for club at national team level.
Cote d’Ivoire and Manchester City ace Yaya Toure , who is eyeing a fifth crown is rated as a massive underdog to retain his title, just ahead of Ghana’s Dede Ayew.
However, as a four-time winner, Yaya Toure cannot be ignored, while there has been a groundswell of support for Ayew, who has been impressive for Ghana and Swansea in the year under review.
The award will be presented at a special ceremony in Abuja, Nigeria tonight with celebrities in attendance.
