Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang named Ligue 1 African Player of the Year
14.05.24 / 08:19
The annual award is won by the best African player in Ligue 1 in memory of the former Olympique Lyonnais and RC Lens midfielder Marc-Vivien Foé who passed away after collapsing in a game between Cameroon and Colombia in the Confederations Cup.
After André Ayew (34) in the 2014-15 season and Chancel Mbemba (29) in the previous campaign, Aubameyang becomes only the third Marseille player to win the accolade. His efforts in guiding the club into the semi-final of the Europa League and his record of 14 goals in Ligue 1 earned him the award.
Tonight, Aubameyang will also be in the running for the UNFP Ligue 1 Player of the Season, although he faces fierce competition from Kylian Mbappé (25) who will be searching for his fifth consecutive trophy.
