Yaya Toure is named African Footballer of the Year for the second season in a row.

Yaya Toure has been named African Footballer of the Year for 2012.

It is the second consecutive season that the Manchester City and Ivory Coast midfielder has picked up the accolade.

The 29-year-old beat fellow countryman Didier Drogba and Cameroon's Alex Song to win the award.

Toure was an integral part of the Manchester City side that won the Premier League title last season and he also helped his country reach the final of the Africa Cup of Nations before they lost to Zambia on penalties.
