Yaya Toure: Man City star is African Player of the Year

Yaya Toure

It is a third straight title for Toure,
He was up against fellow Ivorian Didier Drogba, of Galatasaray, and Nigerian Chelsea midfielder John Mikel Obi.

"What I am doing now, I am doing very well and I am very happy about that," Toure said after receiving his award.


But he acknowledged that it had been a difficult choice for the national team coaches and technical directors who take part in the vote.

""It was quite tight - because it there were good opponents in front of me. Obi Mikel was doing well - and Drogba as well, so I was thinking maybe I would lose it. I am lucky today, I am very proud of myself," he said.

Toure, 30, emulates Abedi Pele and Samuel Eto'o with a hat-trick of wins



i personally thought Mikel was going to get it this time, well the organizers should know better. congrats to him
