Yaya Toure – Midfielder – Manchester City

Often criticized in Africa for not being able to replicate his club performances with Cote D’Ivoire, Yaya Toure returns to England a continental champion. Far from attaining satisfaction with his vast achievements, Toure recently told Canal+ that he was a player that always looked to progress and reach new milestones. Manchester City have reached the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time in their history. If the four-time African Player of the Year can help his team past Barcelona, it will have been another significant tick in his sizeable book of career accomplishments.
