The other two players are France-based Alexander Djiku and Jojo Wollacott who plays in the  English lower division.

The five players will battle it out to be crowned the Ghana Footballer of the Year with the winner succeeding Andre Ayew who won the award last year.

The Ghana Football Awards scheme which has become the most coveted in the football space celebrates footballers who have done great exploits within the year under review.

These players are celebrated in grandeur style at the football awards which come off every July.
