It’s no longer a secret that African footballers are extremely talented. There are multiple examples across the strongest football championships. One of the strongest competitions out there, the English Premier League, is the place where a lot of African football players show their talent and help their club teams break record after record.
And if consistent performances for their club teams are not enough to shape a great player, the Premier League Golden Boot Award definitely does the trick. In the 2017-2018 season, Mohamed Salah won this title and it was the beginning of a great period for African footballers. The following year, the African dominance was evident as Salah won the title again but he tied with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sadio Mane. With Salah representing Egypt, Aubameyang representing Gabon and Senegal being represented by Mane, the three African football players shared the award and wrote history in doing so.
– Mohamed Salah: A key player for Liverpool, Mo Salah is an extremely-quick, intelligent player with an outstanding attitude. His close ball control and variation of pace make him stand out in high-paced counter-attacks and difficult situations with a lot of defenders ahead. All these traits make him an exceptional goalscorer and a great threat whenever he has the ball.
– Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: a true leader for both his national team and Arsenal, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is considered by most as one of the best strikers in the game today. Being capable of playing equally impressive as a wide forward or as a striker, he’s the danger man whenever Arsenal passes the ball over the midfield line. Aubameyang’s football talent runs in the family and he is proud to be one of the best football players Gabon has ever seen. Capable of remarkable sprints and long-distance hauls with the ball at his feet, Aubameyang is equally capable of scoring from tough situations or create a goal for his teammates.
– Sadio Mane: Yet another Liverpool star that shines every time he’s on the pitch, Mane holds the title of the fastest hattrick in Premier League. After finding the net three times in 176 seconds, Sadio Mane needs no further presentation. With such an amazing skillset, Mane quickly cemented his place in Liverpool’s starting 11 and seems to be better and better each season. He always finds the perfect pass and is in the right place at the right time to surprise his opponents and help his team win.
