Former Black Stars of Ghana captain, Asamoah Gyan, has tipped Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen to win the 2023 African Player of the Year award.
While talking to Brilla FM, Gyan said the Super Eagles striker’s performance last season gives him an edge over other players.
Recall that Osimhen scored 26 goals in 32 league appearances for the Partenopei as Napoli were crowned Serie A champions last season.
Kanu Nwankwo was the last Nigerian to win the award in 1999 and Gyan says he feels the striker is the right candidate to win the best African player award for 2023.
He said: “For me, he (Osimhen) deserves it. As a striker and seeing what he is doing, for the first time in over 30 years, winning the league with Napoli. He deserves it.”
