Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has secured a spot among the final three contenders for the African Football Confederation Men's Player of the Year honor, joining Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Paris Saint-Germain's Achraf Hakimi in the race for the continent's top individual prize.
The Galatasaray forward delivered exceptional performances across multiple competitions, netting 37 goals with seven assists last season while helping the Turkish club claim a domestic double. His prolific form has continued with six Champions League goals, surpassing elite scorers like Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, and Harry Kane. For his national team, Osimhen scored a hat-trick against the Benin Republic in a 4-0 victory and added two more in a 4-1 semifinal playoff win over DR Congo.
Salah earned Premier League Golden Boot and Player of the Season recognition during a title-winning campaign, while Hakimi contributed to a historic treble that included Champions League glory. The winner will be announced at a ceremony in Rabat, Morocco.
