Enyeama: Cameroon legend Eto’o should have won world best player award

The former Nigeria captain believes the Barcelona legend deserved global recognition during his illustrious playing career in Europe

Vincent Enyeama said former Cameroon forward Samuel Eto’o should have won the world best player award before he called time on his career in September.

The ex-Nigeria international made the statement while making a case for Africans’ outstanding performances abroad in relation to the coverage they get from the media.

During his time in Lille, Enyeama kept 21 clean sheets in the 2013-14 Ligue 1 campaign and went on to clinch the Ligue 1 African Player of the Year award for 2014.
