Gabon’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has won Africa’s top football honour beating Ivorian Yaya Toure and Ghanaian Dede Ayew to the 2015 Caf African Footballer of the Year award.
The 26-year-old claimed the prize for the first time, capping a season where he has put up stellar performances for his Bundesliga outfit, Borussia Dortmund.
He becomes the first player from the German league to win the award having finished as runner-up in the 2014 edition staged in Lagos.
