Achraf Hakimi, Mohamed Salah and Victor Osimhen will contest Africa’s top individual football award after being named the three finalists for the CAF Player of the Year prize, the Confederation of African Football said on Sunday.

Hakimi, the Moroccan captain, crowned a historic season by winning the Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain for the first time in the club’s history, along with the French league and cup double, and the European Super Cup.

Egypt's Mohamed Salah played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s Premier League title win last season, scoring 29 goals and providing 18 assists to claim both the Golden Boot and Playmaker awards. The 33-year-old also won the PFA Player of the Year and is bidding for his third CAF crown after triumphs in 2017 and 2018.
