Wilfried Bony – Striker – Cote D’Ivoire

Cote D’Ivoire seem to have finally found the man that will replace Didier Drogba. After experimenting with Seydou Doumbia and Lacina Traore, Renard finally placed his faith in Wilfried Bony, who has lived up to expectations. Bony, who recently became the most expensive African player ever after signing with Manchester City, was involved in more goals in this AFCON than any other player. His hold-up play was effective, he greatly improved his aerial prowess, and his supercilious relationship with Gervinho and Max-Alain Gradel troubled many a defence.
