Yeah I think Hakimi deserves the award this time.

Salah still inconsistent with his 1 minute cameos in games.

The nominees also shows that African players aren't at their best in Europe this year... pretty poor when you consider what those European (especially French) African boys are doing. In fact Hakimi is practically Spanish himself!

Omo, CAF full meaning is written in French which is not a language of any African Country.

This continent needs rebirthing from the hold of the Europeans.

Anyways, I think Hakimi should win this time.

To me, salary would have been the best, but he we have hakimi...

Good luck to both of them..

This Athlanta really made Ademola to fall off big time, with his saga, he didn't get to be in top 10

Or you just want to say something which is not relevant
