Ranking top Africans in Serie A 2020-21

Clearly enjoying life at Bologna, the 22-year-old improved on his fine form last term, having a hand in 16 goals—compared with 13 last term.
He caught the eye with his terrific work down the left for Bologna, although he also impressed when drafted into a central role.

Barrow was also part of the Gambia side that qualified for the nation’s maiden Africa Cup of Nations at the expense of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

One of the revelations of the season, Nzola netted 11 goals for newly promoted Spezia, helping them steer well clear of the dropzone and avoid relegation concerns for the majority of the campaign.
He was tipped for a move to West Ham United during the January transfer window—evidence of how his fine form has caught the eye of bigger clubs—but reportedly opted to remain in Italy, at least for now.

Expect some of Europe’s bigger dogs to come calling for the 24-year-old Angolan frontman.

M’Bala Nzola

The jury’s out on whether Osimhen’s maiden season in Italy has been a success story, but that’s primarily because of his eye-watering transfer fee.
For €70 million, fans were surely expecting much more than his 10 goals, even if Osimhen did end the season on a strong note with a purple patch before the campaign’s conclusion.

Despite the reasons for optimism, there’s no getting away from the fact that this was a disappointing year for Napoli, who missed out on the Champions League and sacked head coach Gennaro Gattuso.

Victor Osimhen

Kessie is coming off the back of a superb season with AC Milan, as he proved to be an inspirational figure for the Rossoneri as—for a time at least—they mounted a credible title challenge.
He netted 13 goals—a career high, even though many were penalties—and also demonstrated his leadership qualities in the middle of the park.

He was named in the African Football HQ African Team of the Year, following his outstanding displays, and it will be intriguing to see whether he can help Milan push for the title next term.

Franck Kessie

Met—if not surpassed—pre-season expectations with a superb campaign for Internazionale, and was duly rewarded with a Serie A winner’s medal.
Hakimi’s energy and dynamism down the right flank was a major asset for Antonio Conte’s side—having a hand in 14 goals throughout the campaign—and he continued to establish himself as one of the outstanding right-backs in the world game.

Crucially, Hakimi came up clutch in the critical games of the season; he contributed decisive assists in the 1-0 victories over Cagliari and Hellas Verona during the run-in, and scored the second as the title was sealed with a 2-0 victory over Crotone.

Achraf Hakimi

Pipping Hakimi to top spot is Nigeria frontman Nwankwo, who enjoyed a remarkable goalscoring record in the top flight this season.
Despite playing for relegation certs Crotone—who ended the season in 19th place—Simy still registered 20 goals, putting him joint fifth in the overall scoring charts.

He broke the record for goals scored by a Nigerian player in a single season in a major European league, and eclipsed Obafemi Martins as the Super Eagles’ all-time top scorer in the Italian top flight.

What does the future hold for the towering frontman following his superb season?
