Manchester City and Ivory Coast star player, Yaya Toure has won the BBC African Footballer of the year award .
He beat competition from Yacine Brahimi, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Andre Ayew and Sadio Mane to win the coveted award in London today.
He last won it in 2013, and has now become the only player to have won the award twice apart from Jay Jay Okocha and Kanu Nwankwo.
"I am very proud. To receive this dedication from the fans is unbelievable" Toure told BBC Sport.
"Also I want to pay tribute to the other nominees. African football is growing up, becoming much better and we have fantastic young players coming through now. I am delighted and very happy. And as an African player, I want to lead all my younger brothers to be successful in the future. When I was a kid I was always dreaming of being an important player. I have sacrificed a lot. I will continue to try to win a trophy every year, I will fight to win a personal trophy." he said

I also share the opinion that Pierre-Americ Aubamayang deserverd it... Yaya Toure has lost form... yes he is such a big influence on MC midfield, but He is not the sharp midfielder he was 2 years ago!
Aubameyang should have won it.
Congrats bro. (Linda's finest)
congrats!
Congratulations yaya. U deserve it.
