Super
Eagles captain, Vincent Enyeama has expressed excitement after he made the
final shortlist for the 2014 CAF African player of the year.
The
Lille of France goalkeeper has been named alongside Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang
of Borussia Dortmund and Gabon, and current holder, Yaya Toure of Manchester
City and Ivory Coast.
And
the 32-year old has told SL10.ng of his delight at making the final shortlist
of the prestigious award.
“I
feel so proud and honoured to have been nominated for this award. To be the
best in Africa is not easy and I am excited that I have been shortlisted,” he
told SL10.ng.
Enyeama
was voted for by coaches of the national teams affiliated to CAF for the award
ceremony which will hold in January in Lagos and the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations
winner has once again expressed gratitude to all those who voted for him.
“I
have to say a very big thank you to all those who voted for me, it’s a big honour
for me, my family and my country.”
The
former Heartland goalkeeper has been in inspired form for both club and country
in this calendar year and has been instrumental in their relative success.
The
only dent however, is his failure to qualify with Nigeria for the 2015 Africa
Cup of Nations.
