Right Wing - Mohamed Salah (Egypt)
The frontline of this Africa XI is the one that boasts of maximum talent; Riyad Mahrez, Wilfred Zaha to name a few.
Trending
On the right wing, we have the Egyptian King Mohamed Salah. He was other-worldly last season but is having a not-so-good second half of this season. He still has 20 goals and 9 assists from 42 matches; if that is a bad season, what is good?
He is a blazing winger, blessed with pace, exceptional ball control and impeccable footballing brain. He loves to pick up the ball and run at defenders, usually turning them inside out. The two time African Footballer of the Year has 39 goals in 62 caps for Egypt.
Left Wing - Sadio Mane (Senegal)
Sadio Mane has been Liverpool's most influential attacking player this season and has had a good season for Senegal as well. He is a pacey winger who can leave defenders on the floor at will. He has the ability to consistently beat his marker, get to the byline and put in dangerous crosses.
Adding to this, his goal output is massive for a wide man. The Senegal captain has 60 caps for his national side scoring 16 goals and assisting another 13. He also has 53 goals in 112 appearances for Liverpool. He has been Liverpool's main man this season and recently turned around the game for Senegal against Mali.
Striker - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon)
The Gabon international is the only one from his country on this list. However, his ability and his numbers keep him poles apart from any other African striker. He is tall, has blistering pace and is a ruthless finisher. Aubameyang made himself known to the footballing community with his performances at Saint-Etienne. He then joined Borussia Dortmund and set the stage alight, earning a move to Arsenal. He made 213 appearances for Dortmund, scoring 141 goals and assisting 36. Since joining Arsenal, he has scored 32 goals and assisted 11 in 54 appearances.
Even though he plays for a country that is not considered as one of the big boys in the African continent, let alone the world, Aubameyang still has scored 20 goals in 51 caps.
With Salah, Mane and Aubameyang leading the attack, the African XI will boast of one of the best attacking trios in the world.
