Cup in Brazil, where for the first time in the
tournament's history two African sides made it out
of the group phase. Goalkeeper Enyeama played in the last 16 of the tournament with Nigeria, while Brahimi reached the
same stage with Algeria. Enyeama, 32, went into the event off the back of an
outstanding campaign for French club Lille - he
kept 21 clean sheets for them last season. In Spain, forward Brahimi's efforts for Granada led to him being named best African player in the
country last term and earning a move to Porto. Both players carried their excellent club form into
the showpiece finals and caught the eye with
superb performances - as did Ivory Coast forward Gervinho. The Roma player has been a revelation in Italy since
leaving English Premier League side Arsenal,
scoring 10 goals in 39 games for the Serie A side. He and his compatriot Toure did not make it out of their group in Brazil, but on a personal note both
have enjoyed impressive seasons. Midfielder Toure helped guide Manchester City to
their second Premier League title in three years. He
also won the Capital One Cup. Although striker Aubameyang did not play at Brazil 2014 - because Gabon did not qualify - he makes
the shortlist for the second year in a row thanks to
his club form. The 25-year-old has settled in his second season
with German side Borussia Dortmund and his
improvement has been particularly noticeable in
the Champions League, where he has already
scored three times in the current campaign.
