You all saying Salah should calm down and watch football. This award is given to who performed last season – which was Victor Moses. Mo’ Salah has been standout this season so he can win the next award.

The fact that Victor Moses did not win BBC African Footballer of the Year is a travesty.
He deserved it over Mohamed Salah.
