As the anticipation builds for the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023, football enthusiasts are eagerly eyeing the standout players who could steal the spotlight. With Betway online sports betting as your companion for the competition, why not place some bets on which players are going to shine. We’re about to show you our player picks for the tournament!

There are six EFL players in particular that we think are going to shine on the AFCON stage. The English Football League has long been a breeding ground for talent, and AFCON 2023 will be no exception. 

One name that immediately comes to mind is Odion Ighalo, the veteran striker who continues to impress in the EFL Championship. Having previously showcased his goal-scoring prowess in top-flight football, Ighalo brings a wealth of experience to the Nigerian national team at 34 years old. He’ll score some goals, for sure!

Another EFL gem to watch out for is the Ghanaian midfielder, Thomas Partey. With a formidable presence in the English Premier League, Partey’s skills in the midfield have been instrumental for both club and country. As he takes the field in AFCON 2023, fans can expect to see his attention to detail in defensive plays as well as his distribution during attacking moves.

Keep a keen eye on Kelechi Iheanacho at AFCON too, where the Nigerian forward is set to dazzle with his goal-scoring prowess. Known for his clinical finishing and flair, Iheanacho promises to be a standout player in the tournament, adding excitement and anticipation to the football spectacle.

Semi Ajayi is another to look out for at AFCON, as the Nigerian defender brings his skill and resilience to the tournament. With a strong presence on the field, Ajayi promises to be a key player, showcasing his defensive prowess and contributing to Nigeria’s campaign with determination and class.

Keep an eye on Joe Aribo at AFCON. The Nigerian midfielder is set to dazzle with his versatile skills. Known for his creativity and composure, Aribo promises to be a standout player, adding flair and strategic play to Nigeria’s midfield in the tournament.

Our sixth and final pick is Kamaldeen Sulemana, a rising star to watch at AFCON. The Ghanaian forward, known for his electrifying pace and technical prowess, is set to make a significant impact. With the ability to navigate defenses effortlessly, Sulemana adds dynamism to Ghana’s attacking force. Keep an eye on this young talent as he aims to shine on the grand stage of African football.

In conclusion, as the countdown to AFCON 2023 continues, the EFL players are poised to deliver memorable moments on the grand stage of African football. These players carry the potential to take it to the next level on the international stage. Their skills, finely honed in the EFL, promise to inject dynamism into the competition. As fans eagerly await kick-off, the spotlight on these players adds an extra layer of excitement, hinting at a captivating blend of skill, determination, and the thrill of international football.
