Iwobi, Kudus, Jackson, Mbeumo and Ouattara are up for African Player of the Month, and this time the fans hold the power.
Africa's finest in the Premier League are back in the spotlight. The SuperSport African Player of the Month returns for its third edition, and five nominees from five African nations are competing for October's crown.
The shortlist features Alex Iwobi, Mohammed Kudus, Nicolas Jackson, Bryan Mbeumo and Abdul Ouattara, who between them represent five different Premier League clubs. Mbeumo is already a proven winner here, having taken the inaugural award in August. Ghana's Antoine Semenyo followed in September, so the bar for October is high.
Jackson is the name drawing the loudest buzz. Senegal's goal machine is highlighted in the nomination for a sharp scoring run, with four goals in four league outings that put him at the top of the goal charts among this month's nominees. That kind of record makes a strong case on its own.
But the real twist is who decides. Voting is open, and the continent's fans choose the winner. Whether you back Iwobi's creativity, Kudus's flair, Jackson's finishing, Mbeumo's repeat bid or Ouattara's rise, now is the time to make your voice count.
