Top 5 African players with the most PL goals

#4 Yaya Toure - 59 goals

Manchester City F.C. is the only PL club Toure has played for

Despite not making regular appearances this season, Yaya Toure status as a Manchester City legend and prolific PL midfielder are secure. The former Barcelona player signed for City in 2010 and has gone on to make over 200 appearances for the club. Winning two PL titles and a FA Cup, Toure was influential in guiding the club to their first taste of silverware in recent history.

The Ivory Coast international has notched 59 goals in the PL in seven years and is one of the greatest box-to-box midfielders in PL history. The African has represented his club and nation with the highest respect and is a true great of the game who sits fourth on the all-time list of African players with the most PL goals.

The player began his career with Belgian side Beveren in 2001, before he moved to Metalurh Donetsk, Olympiacos and Monaco before Barcelona signed Toure in 2007. Three years at the Catalan giants saw Toure gain worldwide attention and stabilised the player as a top prospect.
