Nigeria forward, Victor Osimhen has been included in the 10-man shortlist for the 2023 CAF Men\u2019s Player of the Year.<\/p>\n

The Confederation of African Football announced the nominees on their official X platform on Friday.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that CAF released a 30-man shortlist for the award two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

The list is expected to be further pruned to three before the award ceremony.<\/p>\n

Osimhen is the overwhelming favourite to claim the award following a superb 2022\/23 campaign for Napoli.<\/p>\n

The Nigeria international scored 26 goals in 32 league appearances to help the Partenopei win their first league title in over three decades.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old registered five more goals in the UEFA Champions League.<\/p>\n

The striker was also the top scorer in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series with 10 goals.<\/p>\n

His Napoli teammates, Frank Zambo-Anguissa, Vincent Aboubacar, Riyad Mahrez, Mohamed Salah and Achraf Hakimi are also on the shortlist.<\/p>\n

Other nominees are Sadio Mane, Yassine Bounou, Sofyan Amrabat and Yousef En-Nesyri.<\/p>\n

The City of Marrakech, Morocco will host the 2023 CAF Awards Gala on December 11.<\/p>\n
