Nigeria and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has made the final 10 shortlist for the 2023 CAF Player of the Year award.
CAF announced the final 10 shortlist on their C handle on Friday.

Also in the race for the award are Sofyan Amrabat, Vincent Aboubakar, Zambo Aguissa and Youssef En-Nesyri.
Gent Nigerian striker Gift Orban, however, did not make the final five nominee list for the 2023 CAF Young Player of the Year award.
Osimhen is currently nursing a hamstring injury which he sustained in the Super Eagles friendly game with Saudi Arabia.
The injury ruled him out of Thursday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Lesotho in Uyo.
