The Barcelona forward, who has been having an impressive career run since joining the women’s league in Spain, is the only African sportswoman to have made the list.

She has scored twenty goals in 19 league games so far this season before the COVID-19 pandemic halted football leagues across the globe.

The 25-year-old also won her fourth CAF women’s player of the year award in January — to equal a record set by Perpetua Nkwocha, her former team mate.
