Who are Africa’s Premier League winners and losers?
Africa has produced some incredible talent in the Premier League over the years. From legendary goalkeepers to prolific strikers, African players have made a significant impact in one of the most competitive leagues in the world. Let’s take a look at some of the winners and losers from Africa in the Premier League.
Winners:
1. Didier Drogba – The Ivorian striker is regarded as one of the greatest African players to have played in the Premier League. Drogba won multiple league titles with Chelsea and was a key player in their success during his time at the club.
2. Yaya Toure – The Ivorian midfielder was a dominant force in the midfield for Manchester City, helping them win multiple league titles. Toure’s powerful presence and goal-scoring ability made him one of the best midfielders in the league.
3. Riyad Mahrez – The Algerian winger has been a standout performer for Leicester City and Manchester City, winning multiple league titles with the latter. Mahrez’s skill and creativity have made him a valuable asset for his teams.
Losers:
1. Emmanuel Adebayor – The Togolese striker had a mixed career in the Premier League, often drawing controversy for his on and off-field behavior. Adebayor failed to win any major trophies during his time in the league.
2. Gervinho – The Ivorian winger failed to live up to expectations during his time at Arsenal and later at Roma. Gervinho struggled to make a consistent impact in the league and was eventually sold by both clubs.
3. Andre Ayew – The Ghanaian forward has had a decent career in the Premier League, but has often been plagued by injuries. Ayew has struggled to find consistency in his performances and has yet to win any major trophies in the league.
