#2 Emmanuel Adebayor

Adebayor is one of the few African footballers who have played successfully for a number of different English clubs. He was signed by Arsenal in 2006 and played for them till 2009.

Adebayor could not win any major silverware for Arsenal, but made them an exciting team to watch while playing alongside the likes of Thierry Henry, Theo Walcott, Cesc Fabregas and Thomas Rosicky. He scored 62 goals in 142 matches for Arsenal and made a switch to Manchester City in 2009. He was also loaned to Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid during his stint at City.

Adebayor was not as successful at City as he was at Arsenal. However, he scored 19 goals in 45 matches for them. The arrival of young strikers like Sergio Aguero made Adebayor redundant in the City team, and he left the club in 2012.
