Andre Ayew, Yaya Toure and 3 others nominated for BBC African footballer of the year award

Swansea City forward Andre Ayew was on Saturday morning named as
one of five players shortlisted for the prestigious 2015 BBC African
Footballer of the Year award and this year it seems he is the
overwhelming favorite for the award. Algeria's Yacine Brahimi, the 2014
winner, is on the shortlist along with Gabon's Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang, Ghanaian Andre Ayew, Senegal's Sadio Mane and Yaya
Toure of Ivory Coast.
The winner will be decided by African football fans, who have until
18:00 GMT on 30 November to vote for their choice. Andre Ayew won
the award in 2011 with Yaya Toure also winning it in 2013.
The eventual winner will be announced on December 11 2015.
