Top 5 Greatest African Players of all time by Pantoo: 12:45am On Jan 13, 2020
We love football! Who doesn’t love football in Africa? Today, the world has witnessed many footballers display their skills on  different football pitches. If we should start calling names of legendary footballers, time may fall us. However, among the thousands of footballers we may call, there are Africans who have won our hearts as footballers.

We have a list of some of the greatest footballers who are from Africa.

5. YAYA TOURE (IVORY COAST)


No much words need to be said about Yaya Toure. The Midfielder could star in anywhere on the pitch, this was why he had a successful period at top level. He’s easily the best midfielder Africa ever produced. He won absolutely everything there is to win while at Barca, then joined Man City where he played a crucial role in giving them the League title. His strength, vision and goal scoring instinct is unmatched. He’s the player with the most African Player of the Year award wins with four honours to his name. A true great.

4.NWANKWO KANU (NIGERIA)

A legend! This man won almost everything and is one of the few players to have won the UEFA Champions League, English Premier League, FA Cup, Olympic Gold medal and UEFA Cup. He also won the Holland Eredivisie at Ajax thrice and was named African Player of the year twice. He’s the greatest Nigerian player of all time and a legend for both Arsenal and Ajax as well as Portsmouth.

3.JAY-JAY OKOCHA (NIGERIA)

2.DIDIER DROGBA (IVORY COAST)

1. SAMUEL ETO’O
