It’s the end of the year, and the individual awards for the current year have begun to be distributed. On Monday, the Confederation of African Football announced the 5 players nominated for African Player of the Year. The list includes 25-year-old Paris Saint-Germain player Achraf Hakimi.
The Paris Saint-Germain full-back has a great chance of winning. However, he will face stiff competition from the likes of Sehrou Guirassy and Ademola Lookman. The PSG player has had a great season with his club.
He is one of, if not the best in his position, and Luis Enrique has succeeded in giving him a hybrid role in which he seems perfectly at ease. He may lack a few statistics to make everyone agree, but his dedication on the pitch is rare.
