Which seven top-flight stars could vie for AFCON leading scorer?

Excitement is building over the upcoming African Cup of Nations, Coral are offering fantastic odds for the competition top scorer.

With a slew of intriguing attackers set to be on show, it was tough work narrowing our list to just seven stars, but here’s who made our final cut.

Vincent Aboubakar
After scoring three in qualifying for Cameroon, Porto poacher Aboubakar, who has been one of Ligue 1’s most prolific forwards over the past few seasons, faces the daunting task of stepping into the shoes of Indomitable Lions legend Samuel Eto’o.

The 22-year-old has more than enough talent, however, and is 10/1 to take his chance and win the race to be number one striker.

Wilfried Bony
Brilliant Bony is certainly man of the moment as the Ivory Coast attacker prepares to take over the mantle of leading man from Didier Drogba and awaits his mooted move to Manchester City.

Sensational value at 6/1, the physical frontman is favourite to be top marksman in Equatorial Guinea and has notched up 35 goals in 70 games for Swansea City.

Gervinho
Ex-Arsenal attacker Gervinho has found a new lease of life with Italian giants Roma and his nation have already reaped the rewards of this new-found confidence.

The 27-year-old scored twice at the World Cup in Ivory Coast colours and will now bring his bag of tricks to the African Cup of Nations where he is 8/1 to be the most prolific forward.

Asamoah Gyan
With 45 goals in 86 caps, the former Sunderland striker is joint second-favourite at a super 7/1 to bag the biggest goal haul at AFCON.
