The Mozambican international who plays in Atlético Madrid, Reinildo Mandava, is one of the candidates for the prize of best African soccer talent in La Liga, the Spanish league, in the 2022?2023 season.

After having won the player of the month award in La Liga on several occasions as a result of safe displays, the Mozambique international is still after more distinctions or titles in one of the best leagues on the planet.

Even though he was injured on February 25 in the game against Real Madrid and missed the last part of the season, the critics of the Spanish League did not fail to look at the great performance he had, placing him as one of the eight African athletes with the requirements to win the best this season.

They are Inaki Williams (Atlético de Bilibao), Samo Chukweze (Villareal), Djené (Getafe), Aidoo (Celta de Vigo), Sabaly (Betis), Diakhaby (Valencia), and Bono (Sevilla). The election will be by public vote.

The valiant Mambas player has 2725 minutes in 33 games this season, and his debut came at Camp Nou, against Barcelona, in a match in which his team lost 4-2.

In October 2022, the Mozambican international was elected Atlético Madrid's player of the month, in a vote made by the Madrid club's fans.

Mandava earned the same distinction in April, when he beat out competition from Kondogbia, Carrasco, João Félix, and Luís Suarez. (The Country)
