Yaya Toure’s POTY snub gets backing of Goal fans

Readers have voted in overwhelming support of Caf’s decision to exclude the Ivorian from their 30-man shortlist

There was some consternation when Caf omitted four-time African Footballer of the Year Yaya Toure from their 30-man shortlist for the 2016 award.
Between 2011 and 2015, the Manchester City powerhouse was untouchable as the continent’s finest player, winning the continent’s grandest individual award a record four consecutive times.
While it hasn’t been a vintage year for Toure, who is currently exiled from the City first team after finding himself at loggerheads with Citizens coach Pep Guardiola, he did reach the Champions League final with the Sky Blues earlier in the year…and there aren’t too many African players who can claim that!
