How have last season’s major African signings fared?

Signing for Arsenal on the back of a remarkable season with LOSC Lille, Pepe was under pressure to perform after moving for a whopping fee of £72 million.
Of course, he was always going to struggle to make it appear like money well spent, particularly after scoring 22 goals and contributing 11 assists for Les Dogues last season.

Despite winning the FA Cup, it’s hard to call a difficult season a success—with Pepe arriving at a Gunners side in transition and with coach Unai Emery soon to depart.

There were glimpses of excellence, notably against Everton before lockdown, but much more is required from the Ivory Coast international under Mikel Arteta next term.

Nicolas Pepe

Departing Arsenal as Pepe arrived, Iwobi swapped the Emirates Stadium for Everton in a £40 million deal.
Needless to say, it’s been a disaster, with the 24-year-old struggling to find his feet at Merseyside—admittedly during a season of transition for the Toffees.

He scored just once, failed to contribute a single assist, has struggled to nail down his best position, and has displeased the boo boys at Goodison Park.

Alex Iwobi

The jury’s still out on Haller following a maiden season in England in which he scored seven goals in 32 league outings for West Ham United.
Some big money arrivals in the Prem have fared much worse, and Haller’s all-round contribution was encouraging, but more was expected for an arrival whose transfer fee could reach £45 million.

Injury limited Haller’s impact after the pause in play, although it’s concerning that he only netted once since New Year’s Day.

Sebastien Haller

The Senegal midfielder secured a move away from Everton last summer, sealing a high-profile move to Paris Saint-Germain for a £30 million fee.
It’s been an encouraging year. He won the French title, followed that up with French Cup and League Cup successes, and played a key role as PSG reached the Champions League final.

While the capital club also fell short—with Gueye playing no part in the final—doubts remain about his ability to hold his own against the very best European opponents.

Idrissa Gueye

Manchester United parted with £45 million to bring the Anglo-Congolese full-back to Old Trafford from Crystal Palace.
Having proved himself as a superb tackler in South London, the full-back has adapted well to like at the rarefied climes of Old Trafford.

Perhaps there are question marks about how much The Spider offers going forward, but no one can doubt his tenacity or commitment to the cause.

At 22, there’s still so much more to come.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

The 24-year-old has had an absolutely disastrous year at Everton since arriving from Mainz for £25 million in August.
He started the first two matches under Marco Silva, but then picked up a thigh injury and spent an initial two months on the sidelines.

Before he could return, he was further sidelined until early 2020, and then suffered further setbacks which threatened to keep him out until November.

It remains to be seen when Gbamin will finally return, let alone whether he can return to his former levels of performance.
