The Cameroonian Samuel Eto'o, representing the Spanish club, has been chosen as the best African footballer of the year.
In the voting, the striker of the Cameroon national team surpassed Nigerian Jay Jay Okocha and Didier Drogba from Ivory Coast.
Despite Eto'o not shining in the African Cup tournament, he was chosen as the best for his outstanding performance in the Confederations Cup last year. At that time, the Cameroon national team reached the final, where they lost to the French national team. For this achievement, the Cameroon national team was chosen as the best in Africa.
Okocha plays well in England, where he helped the Bolton team reach the Carling Cup final. Meanwhile, Drogba, representing Marseille, already has one award - he was chosen as the best player in the French championship.
It is worth mentioning that 50% of the rights to this player belong to Madrid.
