Moses, who had a brilliant performance with reigning Premier League title, Chelsea last season couldn’t make the final three cut as players such as Gabon striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Egypt winger, Mohamed Salah and Senegal striker, Sadio Mane will battle for the honour slated for Thursday, 4 January 2018 in Accra, Ghana.
Salah recently was named BBC Player of the year and remain a favourite to clinched the honour for the first time.
