Riyad Mahrez, Nwankwo Kanu & Africa's Premier League half-century club

50: Mahrez's goal against Burnley&nbsp;on Tuesday took him up to a half-century of Premier League goals, as he became the ninth African player to join this elite group.
While his time at Manchester City has been frustrating-if trophy-laden-Mahrez will always be remembered for his miraculous stint at Leicester City, where he was an unlikely Premier League winner in 2016.

Mahrez's 50th goal draws him level&nbsp;with Edin Dzeko, Christian Eriksen, Cesc Fabregas, Danny Murphy and Paulo Wanchope, although imagine what he could have already achieved had he been a regular in Pep Guardiola's starting XI at City!

Riyad Mahrez

52 goals: The Manchester-born forward didn’t quite enjoy the international career that some had expected of him, managing just 20 outings after opting to represent Nigeria, but few can deny his potency in the Premier League.
He played for a variety of English clubs, but is best remembered for his time at Wimbledon before the Dons’ decline.

He’s worked as a pundit for ESPN, BBC and the Prem since hanging up his boots.

Efan Ekoku

54: Despite being celebrated for his ‘unpredictability’ Kanu still demonstrated a certain measure of consistency—and longevity—in front of goal.
He netted 54 goals during spells with the likes of Arsenal, West Bromwich Albion and Portsmouth, although it would have been 55 had it not been for his horror miss while in action for the Baggies.

The forward’s strikes against Chelsea while on duty for the Gunners will live long in the memory.

​Nwankwo Kanu

62: Africa’s top-scoring midfielder in the division’s history, Toure is one of only two players from his position—the other being Frank Lampard—to have broken the 20-goal mark in a Premier League season.
He ended his prolific spell at Manchester City with another league winner’s medal last term, and currently features for Greek giants Olympiakos.

Toure is tied with David Beckham on 62 goals.

​Yaya Toure

Arguably the Premier League's most consistently excellent player over the last two seasons, Salah was influential in Liverpool's Champions League success earlier this year-scoring the only goal in the final-and starred as they reached the final the year before.
He's one of three reigning Golden Boot holders after netting 22 times last term, and currently sits level on Yaya on 62 goals.

How Chelsea must regret letting go of the Egypt international, who scored his first two PL goals with the Londoners.

Mohamed Salah

Despite only reaching 50 goals in October 2018, Mane already has 75 in the top flight - across spells with Southampton and Liverpool - having enjoyed a remarkable 13 months as part of Jurgen Klopp's superb Reds side.
The Senegal international currently sits 52nd in the all-time top flight rankings, but expect him to have climbed significantly higher in the standings before the end of this season.

The reigning Golden Boot holder is already on nine goals so far this term, and looks well on course to clinch a maiden Premier League title.

Sadio Mane

95: Creeping into the top three with an admirable 95 goals is Yakubu, who’s the top-scoring Nigerian in the division’s history—despite some serious competition.
He’s 30th in the overall standing despite never playing for one of the league’s giants, although as fans of Middlesbrough, Portsmouth and Everton regularly reminded listeners: “Feed the Yak and he will score.”

The West African is tied with Dimitar Berbatov and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Yakubu

97: A divisive figure, perhaps, but when on song and in the mood, Adebayor was deadly in front of goal.
He fell just short of a century of PL strikes during stints with Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace, and is currently a free agent after leaving Kayserispor.

Emmanuel Adebayor

104: The Ivorian legend may had his single-season record of 29 smashed by Salah during the 2017-18 campaign, but his overall return of 104 is unlikely to be bested any time soon.
Drogba enjoyed two prolific stays at Chelsea, and after netting over a century of strikes, and he sits 27th in the division’s overall scoring charts.
