African Player of the Year - CAF Player of the Year award is under way as 30 players were nominated for the African Footballer of the Year award. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang won for the first time. The Borussia Dortmund and Gabonese forward is favourite to win another CAF Player of the Year - award.

The African Player of the Year Holder - Aubameyang, however, had to settle for second place in the Bundesliga, and exited the Europa League at the quarter-final stage after losing to beaten finalists Liverpool in dramatic fashion. But the Gabon international did score 39 goals in 49 club appearances in all competitions last term and is eight for eight this term across the Bundesliga and Champions League.

Aubameyang and Mahrez are clear front-runners, but with the likes of Slimani and Sadio Mane breathing down their necks, there is no room for complacency at the top.
