Ahead of the 2014 Glo-CAF African Player of the Year award scheduled to hold on Jan. 8 in Lagos, Ike Shorunmu, the Super Eagles’ goalkeepers trainer, has said the chances of Super Eagles captain Vincent Enyeama winning the coveted award were slim.

Enyeama, the first-choice goalkeeper at Lille of France, is on the final shortlist of three nominees for the 2014 edition of the awards.

He however has to contend with the 2013 winner, Yaya Toure of Cote d’Ivoire, and Gabon’s Pierre Emerrick-Aubameyang.

Enyeama, Musa in Caf Award final five

The Nigerian pair of Vincent Enyeama and Ahmed Musa have made the shortlist of five for the 2014 African Footballer of the Year award.

Caf announced the five-man shortlist, and Enyeama and Musa survived the chop in an initial 25-man list released by the African football governing body in November.

However, the Nigerian duo will have to contend with Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of Gabon and the current African Footballer of the Year, Yaya Toure.
