African Footballers In The English Premeir League

Over the years, so many African Footballers have had the opportunity to play in the English Premier League. We all know the Premier League is one of the most watched league in Africa. 

Today at TSL ( Talk sport with Lauretta)  we bring to you African players currently playing in the continent's most watched and loved League.

Some English clubs have a record love for African players. 
For example Chelsea, Chelsea has a strong love for African players, this dated back from when the likes of George Weah, Celestine Babayaro and so many more. Chelsea's love for African players was quite obvious before Didier Drogba became the club's loved striker and Micheal Essien the trusted midfielder 

Another club with strong records for African players is West Ham. 
West Ham in 2000 signed the Guinea legend Titi. Their relationship with African players has continued with players such as Diafra Sakho and Cheikhou Kouyate.
Newcastle is as well recognised for their love for African players starting from the time of Nigerian Legend the handsome (Yeah he was cute then) Celestine Babayaro, who left Chelsea to Newcastle in 2005.
