The AFCON has so far wowed football fans across the world with its thrilling storylines.
As we now enter into the knockout stages, there has been high drama with heavy favourites Senegal getting knocked out last night by hosts Ivory Coast.
One thing for sure has been the level of talent on show, with a host of top names including Sadio Mane, Riyad Mahrez and Mohamed Salah.
But, with the advent of the Saudi Pro League and huge big money contracts on offer to Africa's best footballing stars - the money is certainly staggering.
