1. Gift Orban

Orban was born in Togo and raised in Nigeria. The agent Emefie Atta Aneke organized a tournament in Nigeria when Orban’s skill was first discovered. Each youngster has the chance to impress scouts from eight European teams throughout the six-day event.

There are several clubs interested in hiring Gift Orban, a striker from Nigeria who was previously unknown, including Napoli and AC Milan. After joining Gent in January via a transfer, Orban quickly gained notoriety and has been prolifically scoring goals and setting records ever since.

2. Mohammed Kudus

Mohammed Kudus is a Ghanaian offensive midfielder who competes for the Ghanaian national team and the Eredivisie club Ajax. Kudus is a skilled dribbler who frequently and effectively uses his low center of gravity to turn and accelerate forward. In the Eredivisie, he averages 16 carries per game and has the longest carry distance of any Ajax player.

3. Felix Ohene Afena-Gyan

A forward for Serie A team Roma, Felix Ohene Afena-Gyan, represents Ghana professionally in football.
Afena-Gyan, born on January 19, 2003, in Sunyani, Ghana, transferred from EurAfrica FC to the Roma youth squad on March 13, 2021.

At Roma’s Serie A match against Napoli on October 24, Afena-Gyan received his first call-up to the senior squad. He made his professional debut on October 27th against Cagliari.

Felix made his national team debut for the Black Stars against Nigeria in the World Cup playoffs last year despite being unknown even in Ghana before that Roma debut. He afterward transferred to Cremonese and made seven more appearances for the Black Stars.

4. Ilalix Moriba

When he debuted for Barcelona’s first squad as a teenager, Ilaix Moriba was dubbed the “next Paul Pogba.” Since his early days, even with the U19s, he has been regarded as a player with significant potential.

Fans of Barcelona were disappointed when he left for RB Leipzig due to a contract disagreement. He made his international debut for Guinea, and despite difficulties with Leipzig in Germany, he has seen action while on loan at Valencia.

5. David Datro Fofana

David Datro Fofana, one of offensive football’s most promising young players in 2022, just completed a transfer from newly crowned Norwegian champions Molde to Chelsea. He will begin the next phase of his youthful career in West London.

Clubs in France, Belgium, and Norway were keeping an eye on him. He debuted for Molde against Hoffenheim on February 18, 2021, and scored his team’s third goal in the 74th minute of a 3-3 UEFA Europa League tie. After being acquired by Chelsea from the Norwegian team Molde, David Fofana is the club’s latest attempt to locate a successor to Didier Drogba.

African Goalkeepers!

It’s incredible how much the African continent has contributed to the football industry when Europeans are the known footballers. Some legendary footballers who created history and new beginnings for their clubs and nations over the years were from Africa. Truly, there is a wealth of talent and depth in African football.
