Liverpool: Sadio Mané, 4th best African scorer in the Premier League

Sadio Mané crossed the 90-goal mark in the Premier League, making him the 4th African player in the English league.

Landed in the Premier League in September 2014, Sadio Mané is currently one of the best players in the championship. Great architect of the coronation of Liverpool who won the title of champion of England last season, the Senegalese striker equaled, this Sunday, the record of Luis Suarez who scored 69 goals during his time with the Reds. A glowing record that allows him to make his entry into the top 4 of the best African players in the English elite.

Indeed, by scoring his 6th goal of the season, the vice-champion of Africa becomes the 4th best African player playing in the Premier League. The former Southampton man is behind three African legends: Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Emmanuel Adebayor and Didier Drogba. Nigerian Yakubu Aiyegbeni, former Everton player, has 95 goals in 9 seasons played with 5 different clubs.

Togolese Emmanuel Adebayor is in second place with 97 goals scored in 11 seasons played. He played in 4 big clubs in England, including Arsenal. He is the author of the first hat-trick at the Emirates Stadium. The essential Didier Drogba is by far the best African scorer in the Premier League. He is also the only one to reach and exceed the 100 goal mark. To his credit, 104 goals scored! The two-time England champion with Chelsea achieved this performance in 9 seasons and only with the Blues.
