For the international part one of these five are hoping to take the prize: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon and Borussia Dortmund), Riyad Mahrez (Algeria and Leicester), Sadio Mane (Senegal and Liverpool), Mohamed Salah (Egypt and Roma), Islam Slimani (Algeria and Leicester). There was also a domestic list (based in Africa) and one of the following players are hoping to win the award: Khama Billiat (Zimbabwe), Keegan Dolly (South Africa), Hlompho Kekana (South Africa), Denis Onyango (Uganda), Rainford Kalaba (Zambia).
