Why Borussia Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy should win the 2024 CAF African Player of the Year award
Goals mean prizes, and for Serhou Guirassy that could mean top honours back home in Africa. bundesliga.com explains why the Borussia Dortmund and Guinea striker deserves to win the 2024 CAF African Player of the Year award...
Guirassy will be competing against Simon Adingra (Ivory Coast / Brighton & Hove Albion), Achraf Hakimi (Morocco / Paris Saint-Germain), Ademola Lookman (Nigeria / Atalanta) and Ronwen Williams (South Africa / Mamelodi Sundowns). With his rivals made up of two wingers, a full-back and a goalkeeper, no one comes close to Guirassy’s goal-scoring numbers.
Always seen as a potent threat who was yet to settle, the 28-year-old did exactly that last season at VfB Stuttgart, smashing Mario Gómez’s 19-year club record for most goals in a single Bundesliga campaign. More impressive than that was the fact his 28 efforts put him second in Europe’s top five leagues, ahead of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, and behind only Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane.
