Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure
became just the second man to win
the prestigious CAF award for a
third consecutive year last January,
and is now in line to win an
unprecedented fourth straight
award.
Abedi Pele of Ghana won the award
three times in a row under its previous guise of France
Football's African Player of the Year from 1991.
Toure's nomination is recognition of a superb domestic year
with Manchester City that saw him collect the Premier League
title and the League Cup.
The 31-year-old scored 20 goals in 35 Premier League
appearances for Manuel Pellegrini's side in the 2013-14
campaign, as they held off Liverpool's challenge by two points.
Aubameyang enjoyed a fine debut campaign at Borussia
Dortmund last season, wowing fans with his direct running and
lightning pace.
The Gabon international scored 13 Bundesliga goals last term
to help Jurgen Klopp's men to a second-placed finish and the
DFB-Pokal final.
Nigeria captain Enyeama skippered his country at the World
Cup in Brazil earlier this year.
The 32-year-old was an ever-present in a Lille side that finished
third in Ligue 1 last term, helping the club to the UEFA
Champions League preliminary stages where they lost to Porto.
Ghana's Asamoah Gyan and Nigeria's Ahmed Musa were
previously on a five-man list, before that was whittled down to
three on Thursday.
The winner of the gong will be announced at a ceremony in
Lagos on January 8.
