Yaya Toure is seeking a fifth consecutive CAF Player of the Year title after being included in the 37-man shortlist.
Yaya Toure, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mohamed Salah are among the star names to be nominated for the 2015 CAF Player of the Year award.
The Confederation of African Football has named 37 players on its shortlist for the continent's most prestigious individual award, with the eventual winner to be named on December 22.
Toure has taken the last four CAF Player of the Year awards. If he makes it five in a row this year, he will hold the outright record over Samuel Eto'o, who has also won it four times.
