The successor to the Moroccan Younes Belhanda for the Marc Vivien Foe Prize (name of the Cameroonian international who collapsed at the Stade Gerland in a Confederation Cup match) will be known on Monday. The Marc Vivien Foe Prize is a distinction awarded to the best African player in League 1.

After 11 players, 3 are used for the title. The midfielder of the Stallions of Burkina Faso and Rennes Pitroipa Jonthan, the defender of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon Marseille striker Nicolas Nkoulou and the striker of the Panthers of Gabon and Saint-Etienne, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are racing.

The second best striker in League 1 and the second behind Belhanda the previous edition is clearly on track to succeed the Moroccan. But beware Jonathan Pitroipa, named best player of the African Cup of Nations 2013. Author also of a good season with Marseille, Nkoulou can also cause an upset. The competition is open. The jury is composed of journalists.
