Algeria international Yacine Brahimi has been voted this year's BBC African Footballer of the Year.
The Porto midfielder came out on top of a five-man shortlist that included Vincent Enyeama, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Gervinho and last year's winner Yaya Toure.
"It's a big honour for me to receive this wonderful trophy. I owe it to my country, Algeria, and to all the people who voted for me," he told BBC Sport.
"It's also a trophy for the whole of Africa, because it rewards an African player. So I am really very happy.
"This trophy is going to give me more strength, more desire to work, to get better, to learn so that I can keep having great performances."
Brahimi has won 14 caps for Algeria and played for his country at this year's World Cup.
