Sadio Mane
Sadio Mane tells the BBC about growing up playing football on the streets in Senegal, and then a scout saw him and took him to a football centre, where he passed all the tests and the rest is history
He said: “I started to play football in the streets, when I was at school, then I left the city to go to Dakar and was there I met one guy who said I played good, he took me to the football centre, and they tested me, and I found I played good.”

Former South African winger Delron Buckley on BBC Sportshour: If Sadio Mane wins this, he will like a god walking on water in Senegal.
Yacine Brahimi
Yacine Brahimi told the BBC he is a better player than last year: “Yes, it is because I am gaining more experience playing big games or against big teams.
"This means you learn a lot. The fact that you play every 3 days helps in your understanding with your team mates.
"Above all, I work very hard every single day to get better and improve.”

He told the BBC: "I watched a lot of tapes of my Dad (Abedi Pele), Samuel Eto'o, Kalusha Bwalya - great players, legends.

His son now has a new Superhero idol, Batman, so Aubameyang has changed his celebration.
He told the BBC: “Before it was Spiderman because I did that back at Saint Etienne... Now it's Batman for the colours, black and yellow.
"My son has the Batman mask, the batman pyjamas, he has everything batman and soon I will do something else with Batman... Not a mask but I may put on a batman t shirt.”

Yaya Toure

"Widely regarded as one of his generation's finest midfielders, he has again shown his immeasurable worth to both club and country in 2015. A powerhouse who can dominate opponents with his strength and determination, Toure is used to winning - and in February, he captained Ivory Coast to the Nations Cup title.
"He is the lone African on the 23-man shortlist for Fifa World Player of the Year and few would argue against him being his continent's most influential player right now.
"That's why the Ivorian should be BBC African Footballer of the Year for a second time."
