Chelsea right wing-back Victor Moses is among 30 players dueling for the title of 2017 African Player of the Year.
The Premier League champions were delighted their number fifteen has been nominated for the prestigious accolade, and hope he will join former player Didier Drogba in the history books by winning the award.
''As well as his success at club level, Moses was an integral part of the Nigeria squad which qualified for next summer’s World Cup finals in Russia,'' Chelsea stated on their official webpage.
''He scored a brace in their 3-1 qualifying win over Algeria, as well as netting as they recorded a 4-0 victory against Cameroon.
''Moses will be aiming to become only the second Chelsea player to lift the award after Didier Drogba took the prize on two separate occasions, in 2009 and 2006.
''Both John Mikel Obi and Michael Essien finished in the top three at various points.''
Previous Nigerian winners of the African Player of the Year award are Rashidi Yekini, Emmanuel Amuneke, Nwankwo Kanu and Victor Ikpeba.
