Every game of AFCON 2023 is live on Sky Sports. Ahead of the tournament, Sky Sports News have picked out some of the most exciting prospects in the tournament.

Let's start with the hosts who have decided to leave Wilfried Zaha in Turkey for the tournament.

IVORY COAST

Karim Konate and Ousmane Diomande

RB Salzburg have a habit of producing future Premier League forwards, with Sadio Mane and Erling Haaland both making their way in Austria. And Salzburg might be hoping that 19-year-old Karim Konate has a quiet tournament so they can keep hold of him a little longer.

Hailing from the same team in Ivory Coast as Yaya and Kolo Toure, Konate's performances and eight goals in the Austria Bundesliga this season suggest he has the potential to succeed like the strikers before him at RB Salzburg.

Konate's lightning pace and willingness to take on players will have Premier League clubs and fans watching him closely. However, with Sebastian Haller likely to lead the line, we may see Konate making cameos from the bench. They will certainly be worth looking out for.

People remember tournaments for the great goals and top goalscorers, but any team looking to win the Africa Cup of Nations needs a steady defence. It looks like Ivory Coast will put their trust in 20-year-old Ousmane Diomande for that.
