#3 Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace)
The Premier League has some of the best African players in world football right now and Wilfried Zaha is one of them. The former Manchester United forward has been an interesting watch ever since he left the Red Devils and returned to play for Crystal Palace in 2014.
With his amazing dribbling skills and trickery, Zaha can easily go past defenders and create goals for his team-mates. He himself has scored a good amount of goals in the Premier League and is a vital player for the Eagles. His performances have been crucial in helping Crystal Palace stay in the top-flight.
The Ivorian has been named the club's player of the year three times and despite being linked to a number of Premier League clubs, he is still playing for Palace. With age not on his side, it remains to be seen if Zaha can secure a big move away from Selhurst Park.
#2 Allan Saint-Maximin (Newcastle United)
Having come through the ranks at Saint-Etienne, Allan Saint-Maximin has played for a number of clubs in his career. After signing for Nice in 2017, his form stabilized as he found some rhythm to his game-play.
In 2019, Newcastle United went after his signature and brought him to the Premier League. Ever since then, Saint-Maximin has been a very dynamic player for the Magpies. He has blistering pace, very quick feet, amazing dribbling skills and the awareness to create and score as per the situation.
The Frenchman has directly contributed to 20 goals in 54 starts in the Premier League. With better team-mates around, Saint-Maximin can surely contribute more. Luckily in his case, he can either look for a bigger club or insist the new Saudi Arabian owners to bring in more quality players.
#1 Raphinha (Leeds United)
Raphinha started his career in Brazil and played for some time in Portugal and France before moving to play for Leeds United in the Premier League. He was very impressive with the Whites last season as he has a lively presence about himself.
The Brazilian forward scored six goals and recorded nine assists in the Premier League in his debut campaign last term. He has started very brightly this season, scoring five goals in 10 appearances for Leeds United. Raphinha has amazing pace, mind-boggling dribbling skills and can score some outrageous goals.
He has the vision but sometimes fails in his execution with the pass. He's only 24 and can definitely work on that. With the right guidance and coaching, Raphinha can become a beast of a player and for that he needs to play for a bigger club.
