Former Togo international Emmanuel Adebayor believes Guinean star Serhou Guirassy is primed to win the CAF Player of the Year award in 2024.
Following an extraordinary season with VfB Stuttgart, Bundesliga breakout star - Guirassy, has firmly established himself as one of the top contenders for the gong.
The French-born Guinean striker finished a phenomenal second in the Bundesliga Golden Boot race, only trailing the creative Harry Kane.
During the 2023/24 Bundesliga campaign Guirassy scored 28 goals, providing 2 assists in 28 league matches, and was instrumental in expediting Stuttgart to an amazing second-place finish, even leaping over the mighty Bayern Munich on the final day.
Adebayor, who won African football's most coveted award in 2008 - beating Egyptian veteran Mohamed Aboutrika and Ghanaian legendary midfield skimmer Michael Essien, believes Guirassy deserves recognition for his achievements.
“Of course [he deserves to win],” Adebayor told Afrik-Foot. “He had an extraordinary season with Stuttgart, he is a striker who scored a lot.
“He will be one of the contenders, that's for sure, especially since Salah has not scored as much, Victor Osimhen did not have the same season as the year of the title. It's open this year. If it's Guirassy, it will be well deserved.”
