He racked up 59 percent of the votes on offer to beat off competition from PSG superstar, Zlatan Ibrahimovic who nicked 32 percent of the votes to finish in second place.

Enyeama and Ibra will come face-to-face in direct competition when PSG hosts Lille OSC at the Parc des Princes on match day 19 of Ligue 1 on Sunday.

Olympique Marseille midfielder, Florian Thauvin was a distant third in the overall classification with 9 percent of the votes.
