Super Eagles duo Victor Moses and William Troost-Ekong have been nominated for 2017’s African Player of the Year Award, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced on Wednesday.

Moses and Ekong played crucial roles in Nigeria’s successful qualification series for next year’s FIFA World Cup with the West African nation emerging as the first team to qualify from Africa.

Moses was Man-of-the-Match in their emphatic 4-0 win over Cameroon in Uyo and made the CAF XI for Match Days 3, 4 and 5 in the qualifying series. He was tipped here by Prof Onwumechili https://aclsports.com/is-victor-moses-the-new-boss/

Moses also had an accomplished season with his English side Chelsea, redefining himself in a right wing back role as Antonio Conte’s side cruised to the 2016/17 Premier League title. https://aclsports.com/5420-2/

Troost-Ekong has forged a formidable partnership with Leon Balogun in Nigeria’s defence and the Bursaspor defender was the only Nigerian player to have completed ninety minutes in each of their five World Cup qualifiers.

Troost-Ekong has come a long way from here: https://aclsports.com/5674-2/
