Also in the Bundesliga Serhou Guirassy‘s goal-scoring form has led to some parallels Erling Haaland — One of his predecessors at Borussia Dortmund — Bryan Mbeumo and Mohamed Salah were among Africa’s star players in the Premier League.

A Pharaoh aiming for the throne?

Eintracht had Marmoush to thank for taking maximum points against newly promoted Holstein Kiel; The Egyptian opened the scoring on the counter-attack, receiving the ball in his own half, running straight towards the goal, outpacing the opposition backline and sending home a low goal.

Could it be Liverpool who decide to turn to the rising star of African football as Salah’s contract expires in 2025?

In Germany too, Guinean Guirassy continues to improve after a slow start at his new club and fans may begin to feel that they have finally found the long-awaited successor to Haaland, who leaves Signal Iduna Park in 2022.

African stars Mbeumo and Salah were also among the goals in the Premier League.

Mbeumo continued Brentford’s remarkable run of early goals by scoring the first goal after just 37 seconds against West Ham United on Saturday. This was the third game in a row in which the Bees scored within the first minute. Yoane Wissa (22 seconds against Manchester City) and Mbeumo (23 seconds against Tottenham) were previously setting a new standard for getting out of blocks quickly.

It was the Cameroon international’s fifth goal in six league games as he looks to shoulder the attacking burden. Ivan Toney‘s departure and Wissa’s injury.
