A new Premier League season is upon us and like in every season; African players take center stage with their transfers to the most exciting League in the world with a view to make a name for themselves.
There were no earth shaking transfer of African players in this window to the Premier League; no record breaking transfers but be that as it may the following players will seize the opportunity from the moment they get on the pitch. These are five African Players in the Premier League to keep an eye on this season:
Iliman Ndiaye Age: 24 (Everton and Senegal)
This is not the Senegalese International’s first rodeo in the Premier League after his four year stint at Sheffield United as they bounced between the Premier League and Championship within that period.
He returns to the Premier League after a less than impressive stay at Marseille where he only managed to score Three goals in Thirty Ligue 1 games. Whilst, Ndiaye may not be the most prolific attacking midfielder out there; he is very nibble and great on the dribble.
He will definitely raise the entertainment value at Goodison Park as Sean Dyche seeks to lead the Toffees in another season in the top flight.
Abdul Fatawu Age: 20 (Leicester City and Ghana)
The young Ghanaian came to prominence when Leicester City decided to make his loan move from Sporting Lisbon permanent and they story broke that his club in Ghana; had inserted a 50% sell on clause in his contract, if he was sold by Sporting Lisbon.
Fatawu is a winger with a keen eye for goal and a major part of Enzo Maresca’s Promotion and Championship winning Leicester side. Under the tutelage of Steve Cooper now; the Ghanaian International would be keen to light up the with his dribbles and quick pace as Leicester make a return to the Premier League.
Benjamin Chiemela Fredrick Age: 19 (Brentford and Nigeria)
Benjamin is another youngster who came to prominence sue to his surprise transfer to a Premier League club directly from a Nigerian club side. Benjamin is an established junior international with immense potential; good in the tackle and quite steady on the ball.
He join Brentford last season with a few with him making the match day squad; however, the hope is that he will become a fixture in the Brentford starting eleven.
Yankuba Minteh Age: 20 (Brighton Hove and Albion)
Yankuba is another from the Gambian production line of wingers; looking to follow the footsteps of Musa Barrow and Ebrima Colley. First signed for Newcastle United; moved to Feyenoord without kicking a ball in the Premier League for the Magpies and now he is back at Brighton under new management with a chance to light up the League.
Yankuba finished the Eredivisie season for Feyenoord with ten goals from twenty-seven league games; chief of which was his impressive brace and assist performance against Ajax in their worst defeat in history.
Omar Khedr Age:18 (Aston Villa and Egypt)
Not many Egyptian players attempt to take a stab at playing in European Leagues; the likes of Mohammed Salah have continued to thrive and excelled as worthy role models for the next generation of footballers coming out of Egypt.
Omar steps into the shoes left behind by Trezeguet at Villa part looking to forge a way for himself and probably lay claim to being the next Mo Salah.
With Zamalek receiving a fee of over Two million Euros; Omar is the most expensive Egyptian teenage player ever and now bound to set the Premier League alight.
