Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama listed for BBC Africa footballer of the year award.

Super Eagles goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama,
is among the five players nominated for the
BBC African Footballer of Year for 2014 as
revealed by the organisers of the award on
Monday.
The Nigeria captain is the only goalkeeper in
the list as title holder Yaya Toure of Ivory
Coast gets his sixth consecutive nomination
for the award.
Gabonese forward Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang, who plays Borussia Dortmund,
Algeria forward Yacine Brahimi of FC Porto,
and Ivory Coast’s Gervinho of AS Roma
make up the list.
Four of the nominees played at the World Cup
in Brazil, where Enyeama and Brahimi played
in the last 16 of the tournament with Nigeria
and Algeria respectively.
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.
Toure helped Manchester City to their second
Premier League title in three years and also
won the Capital One Cup, Gervinho has
impressed in Italy since leaving Arsenal,
scoring 10 goals in 39 games for the Serie A
side.
Although striker Aubameyang did not play at
the World Cup in Brazil, he makes the
shortlist for the second year in a row based
on his impressive club form.
BBC said the winner will be decided by fans
of African football, who have until November
24 to vote for their choice online or through
SMS.
The winner will be announced on December
1.
