Ghanaian sensational winger Ernest Nuamah has earned a nomination for the 2023 CAF Young Player of the Year award.
This recognition comes in light of the 21-year-old’s outstanding contributions for both his club and the national team over the past year.
Nuamah delivered an exceptional season in the Danish Superliga while playing for FC Nordsjælland, where he notched an impressive 19 goals and provided 6 assists in 32 appearances.
Subsequently, he secured a move to the renowned French club, Olympique Lyonnais, during the summer, where he has already demonstrated his skills by scoring a goal in his first five appearances.
On the international stage, Nuamah has also left a significant mark. He made his debut for the Black Stars in June 2023 and managed to score a goal in each of his first two appearances.
Additionally, he played a pivotal role in the Ghana squad’s journey to the quarterfinals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Competing against nine other promising young talents, Nuamah’s performances over the past year make him a strong contender for the CAF Young Player of the Year award.
The recipient of this prestigious award will be revealed at the CAF Awards ceremony in Morocco, scheduled for December 11, 2023.
