Former Super Eagles winger, Emmanuel Amuneke has reacted to reports that he voted for Mohamed Salah of Egypt ahead of Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen in the 2023 CAF Player of the Year Award.
According to him, he was never
elected to vote in the CAF Awards.
Amuneke also claimed the viral
video that led to the uproar was a Moroccan journalist asking him to choose between
Salah and Achraf Hakimi.
“I was never elected to vote in
the CAF Awards. A Moroccan journalist came to me and asked ‘Hakimi or Salah’.
“I said Salah because I played
in Egypt and I lived in Egypt and I know some of the guys there. Osimhen was
never in the conversation,” Amuneke said.
Osimhen was crowned CAF Player
of the Year on Monday night, ahead of Salah and Hakimi.
