Position: Forward
Frederic Kanoute is a retired Malian footballer who played as a striker for a number of top tier clubs in Europe and the Mali national team. He won the Africa player of the year award in 2007, becoming the first born out of Africa player to win the award. He notably played for Sevilla in the Spanish Laliga where he had the greatest success in his career. Kanoute is one of the Top 10 Richest African Footballers.
Unfortunately the Kanoute never made it to the World Cup finals as his team was not just good enough to reach his heights and qualify for the FIFA World Cup.
