Kotoko striker, Ahmed Toure, stands a good chance of winning the 2011 MTN FA Cup Most Valuable Player award almost one week after being named as the 2010 /2011 Glo Premier League, Player of the Season.

Toure beat Chelsea’s Emmanuel Clottey and Heart of Lions’ Gladson Awako to win the league’s prestigious award last Saturday at the Banquet Hall of the State House.

This Sunday at the plush Movenpick Hotel in Accra, the 24-year-old player will face stiff competition again from Heart of Lions’ Gladson Awako and two Nania FC players namely Lawrence Lartey and Prince Baffoe.

The Ivorian attacker was instrumental in the performances that ensured Kotoko’s qualification to the grand finale of the FA Cup where they lost by 0-1 to Nania FC at the Ohene Djan Sports Stadium.

Notwithstanding that painful loss, pundits have tipped Ahmed Toure who has declared his intention of switching nationality to feature for Ghana, to win the MTN FA MVP award.

Toure, it would be recalled joined Kotoko at the beginning of the second round of the 2010/2011 season and his sterling show in the team’s matches continue to attract media reviews. Below is the full list of nominees for 2010/2011 MTN FA Cup awards.
