'They are great players' - Oshoala hails Kgatlana and Nchout's 2019 exploits ahead of Caf Awards

Asisat Oshoala has hailed the international influence of South Africa star Thembi Kgatlana and Cameroon striker Ajara Nchout, ahead of the 2019 Caf Awards in Egpyt.

On Tuesday, the African trio made the final for the African Women's Player of the Year shortlist and they will aim to claim the accolade at the expense of Oshoala's bid for a fourth prize.

Kgatlana scored South Africa's maiden Women's World Cup goal in France, while Nchout struck twice to help Cameroon to a back-to-back Round of 16 finish and earned a Puskas Award nomination.
