Eto'o in Ivory Coast!! Says Max Gradel will win African Best Player Award

Cameroon football legend Samuel Eto'o has said that the performance of Max Gradel with Saint Etienne this season has brought the player on the spot light. The Cameroon star Samuel Eto'o Fils was in Abidjan this weekend and reportedly observed that the former Leeds player was eligible to win the Golden Ball. Said Papa Eto'o  "He worked seriously and remained powerful in every game".

The outspoken Cameroon football master added that "I heard Max Gradel requesting the Ivorian people to pray for him to win the Golden Ball. I can tell him that he will win the Golden Ball. But to get there he has to work hard and always be efficient in every game. It is only at this price that it will happen and I believe it".
