ahead of Nigeria's John Obi Mikel and Victor
Moses as the 2013 BBC African Footballer of
the Year.
'I think I've been nominated for five years in a row
and finally winning the award is amazing. I'm very
happy as it is the fans who have given it to me – so
I'm very appreciative', the Manchester City FC
midfielder told BBC Sport.
Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang and Rennes winger Jonathan
Pitroipa were the two other nominees for this
year's award.
44 football experts from across Africa were chosen
to look into account each players' skill, technical
ability, teamwork, consistency and fair play when
making their decisions.
Fans were also given the opportunity to have their
say on the winner online and by text message.
