It will be Drogba for me! He was absolutely phenomenal — how does a single player carry a full team ok its back! and not only does he do that, he then clinches several trophies for them!

Not a Chelsea fan, but Didier Drogba in my own opinion is the greatest....

Coming close are Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Kanu Nwankwo.

He did not just represent Ivory Coast in the EPL, he represented the whole of Africa....

Nonsense LOL

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.

The list is incomplete without mentioning George Weah the Current Liberia President.
He won 1995 Ballon d'Or.
He also played premiere league side Chelsea & Manchester City in the year 2000

For me,its a straight fight between Didier Drogba,Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mane!
My choices are based on no of assists,no of goals,consistency,disciplinary conduct,importance/influence to the team and the trophies that they won for their respective team!
It will be unfair to choose just one of them!
They are to me the greatest players that adequately represented Africa in the EPL!
My opinion though!

Without prejudice, Mo Sallah is more consistent than any other African player year in year out in terms of goal scoring, which is the ultimate of the game, he has not scored less than 20 goals per season since he joined Liverpool, and he has won laurels also.

There are quite a few people that are missing from the list and this is the first person that comes to my mind. This guy scored goals like crazy at the beginning of the Premier League. He scored a huge number of goals for Norwich and Wimbledon.

Nigeria's Efan Ekoku

Everton 1 Norwich 5 - 25 September 1993 (4 goals by Efan Ekoku)

tell me what Drogba did in EPL that Mo Salah didn’t do and even more ... ?

Drogba exudes more greatness than Salah. Drogba is the best African player to ever played in EPL.
