Liverpool striker, Mohamed Salah has won the CAF African
Footballer of the Year for the second time in a row, beating his Liverpool
teammate Sadio Mane of Senegal and Arsenal's Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang.
The annual award is decided by a voting panel made up of
national team coaches and captains, plus a selection of officials and
journalists.
"I can't believe it's been a year since I was last on
this stage. I've always said this award for me is very big. I love it, because
I saw it when I was young. I had the dream to win one day. So now I've won it
twice. I'm very proud to have won it twice," Salah said at the ceremony
held in Dakar, the Senegalese capital.
"I have to thank my family, teammates, fans and
everyone who played a role in my career to make this happen today. I would love
to dedicate this award to my country, Egypt."
