people wouldn't want to disrespect legends but it arguably Salah
in fact, he's the greatest winger in the history of EPL
few steps ahead of Ronaldo
Re: Supersports Asks You To Select The Greatest Ever African In The Premier League by Adjovi: 9:08pm On Mar 27, 2023
All these Chelsea fans and sentiment. The post says best African player in the EPL. Which is clearly Salah and no African player comes close to mo Salah .
Re: Supersports Asks You To Select The Greatest Ever African In The Premier League by THEGALADIMA(m): 9:25pm On Mar 27, 2023
This list is a very heavy contender for the best. Especially since its not all about records but the auro behind their personalities and star power.
Very strong list.😊👍👍👍



PEPPERified:
1. Kanu Nwankwo
2. Didier Drogba
3. Yaya Toure
4. Austin Jay Jay Okocha
Re: Supersports Asks You To Select The Greatest Ever African In The Premier League by THEGALADIMA(m): 9:28pm On Mar 27, 2023
With all due respect to Cele and his records, but in comparison to the names on that list, he can't compete.

Pjoe238:
Where is CELESTIN BABAYARO?
Re: Supersports Asks You To Select The Greatest Ever African In The Premier League by THEGALADIMA(m): 9:36pm On Mar 27, 2023
Aswear our arguments are the same.
But a list with Kanu topping too, is a worthy mention.
My own list is that the greatest player in prem history of African descent has to also be about the personality such person carries, also it is about the way he made his team phenomenal in the scheme of things.
But Sallah must be among the top 3......... Garaaa.




Reference:
This is not a question.
It's Didier Drogba by a country mile. He symbolised all what the Premiership was about at Chelsea, the pomp, the drama and the personas and then he won it all...and left on a high.

In recent times it has to be the Egyptian Prince, Moh Salah. Record breaker in almost every significance. But his present trajectory is a bit worrying. Seems to have lost his glass cleats in this Mersyside Cinderella caper.

From the word Greatest Arican Player, I give it to Didier Drogba.
I wonder why Celestine Babayaro didn't make the list.

Drogba

Salah and Mane are playmakers, their contributions can never be forgotten.

But a good number 9 like drogba will always be top of the list because they are the difference maker. The whole team rely on them in key moments.

Sadly, lone strikers era is becoming a thing of the past.
Salah is both a playmaker and even a better scorer
Re: Supersports Asks You To Select The Greatest Ever African In The Premier League by Ajibade123(m): 10:32pm On Mar 27, 2023
Salah obviously
Won everything everything the others could not do both collectively and personally

AustineCJ:
Mo Salah won everything Drogba won in term of trophies and has more EPL records and Personal records than Drogba, more EPL goals. Who is even picking Drogba ahead of Salah abeg ?

As a Madrid fan this is so easy.
As In...
It is very easy
Maybe people don't rate Salah because he is still active

It's because Rigobert Song is on that list, that I think people like Celestine Babayaro and Efan Ekoku should have been on the list too.

how many years did he play in the EPL. And what was his impact?

FYI, Samuel Eto'o only spent two years in the EPL, scored a total number of 12 goals.

1yr at Chelsea from 2013/2014.
Total goals scored 9.


1yr at Everton from 2014/2015.
Goals scored, 3.

What made drogba popular was basically Because Of Chelsea Fans toutish Noise abd loud behavior...drogba only had 2 great season in Chelsea out of 9season ...remaining 7 were disgraceful for a Striker ..he didn't even score upto 13 in 7 EPL seasons ....

Salah Worst Season is this season since his Chelsea Days Yet he's still going to score more
He's so overrated..
In his heydays Chelsea were even looking to replace with the signings of Shevchenko and Later Torres.
Pity none of em worked out
Re: Supersports Asks You To Select The Greatest Ever African In The Premier League by SmartThief(m): 7:15am On Mar 28, 2023
Most people here choosing Didier Drogba are doing it out of the African-ness and we felt his connection and blackness more than Salah.


But, in my own opinion Mohammed Salah is the greatest African footballer in the Premier league.

No equals!!!
