Ah, listen here, dears, if you ain’t noticed, there’s a whole bunch of African lads playin’ in the Premier League these days. Now, back in my time, we didn’t hear much ’bout no African players on the telly, but now? Well, it’s a different story altogether! Let me tell ya, these fellas have brought somethin’ special to the game. Some are quick on their feet, some have a powerful kick, and others just know how to make things happen on the pitch. It’s like they’s got a fire inside ’em that you just can’t put out. Now let’s go through some of them, ‘cause I reckon they deserve a proper mention.
Mohamed Salah, bless his heart, now that boy is a star! Folks can’t stop talkin’ about him. You might remember, he didn’t quite hit it off when he first landed in England, playin’ for Chelsea. But after a while, when he found his home at Liverpool, he just took off! You can’t help but be impressed when you watch him sprintin’ down the pitch. He’s one of the best goal-scorers to ever play in the Premier League, no doubt about it. What a turn-around! He’s got all the moves, all the tricks, and he don’t let anything stop him. A true magician with the ball.
Then there’s Didier Drogba, now he was somethin’ else! Played for Chelsea, didn’t he? That man had strength like no other. When he was on the field, you knew somethin’ big was gonna happen. Whether it was his powerful headers or his ability to hold off defenders like they were nothin’, Drogba made sure you remembered his name. He was also one of the top scorers in Premier League history, and for a good reason too.
Now, not all the African players are big and strong like Drogba or Salah, some of ‘em are a bit more subtle, like Riyad Mahrez. This one played for Leicester before he made the jump to Manchester City. When he’s got the ball at his feet, you never know what he’s gonna do next. He can dribble past any defender, and he’s got a lovely left foot on him. He was a key player in Leicester’s amazing title win in 2016, and I tell ya, that was a season to remember. He’s got that smooth style, like a cat glidin’ across the field.
Yaya Touré, now he’s another one who made his mark. From Ivory Coast, he came to Manchester City and just took over that midfield like it was his own garden! Tough, clever, and always knowin’ where to be at the right time. Touré wasn’t just a player you’d notice when he scored a goal – no, no, he was all over the place, breakin’ up attacks and settin’ up his teammates. His time at City was full of glory, and boy, did he deserve it.
But let me tell ya, it ain’t just the big names that have made a difference. Said Benrahma from Algeria, now he’s a more recent face. He plays for West Ham, and I’ve seen some sparks of brilliance in his game. Quick on the ball and never shy to take a shot. These younger lads are bringin’ new energy to the league. Ain’t it somethin’ to watch?
It’s amazin’ how many African players there are in the Premier League now. Did ya know that as of now, there’s been 246 African players that have graced the Premier League pitches since it started back in 1992? And these fellas have scored a whopping 1,776 goals between ‘em! Now that’s somethin’ to be proud of.
As more African players join the league, you can see the game gettin’ faster, smarter, and more exciting. From powerhouses like Drogba to the finesse of Mahrez, these players are changin’ the way the game’s played, and I reckon the Premier League’s better for it.
Who else you askin’ about? There’s Andre Ayew from Ghana, who played for Swansea City, and let’s not forget Bakary Sako from Mali, who had his time at Crystal Palace. They’ve all brought their own touch to the league. And as we watch more African players step up, there’s no tellin’ who we might see next.
Now, I’m sure y’all have your favorites too, don’t ya? Whether it’s Salah with his quick feet, Drogba with his brute force, or Mahrez with his slick moves – these players have given us plenty to cheer for. And with African players making up about 7% of the Premier League, it’s clear they’re here to stay.
So, next time you’re watchin’ the match, keep an eye on these African lads. They’re doin’ more than just playin’ football – they’re makin’ history, one goal at a time.
