Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly is delighted to be among the Ballon d'Or nominees.
Koulibaly, 28, was speaking with Le Buteur.
"The fact that there are several African nominations (for the Ballon d'Or) shows the enourmous progress African football is making," said the Senegal international.
"Sadio Mane, Riyad Mahrez, Mohamed Salah, all great players.
"I would add Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, so we have a generation of phenomenons. I support Mane."
