Top AFCON players to watch

1. Mohamed Salah – Liverpool

Mohamed Salah is arguably the biggest star of the players currently competing at the AFCON. The Liverpool forward would represent Egypt who’s the tournament most successful side with seven titles.

Salah is known for his creativity, quality style of play, and perfect goal-scoring abilities. Currently, the Egyptian is ranked among the best footballers in the world.

2. Riyad Mahrez – Algeria

Mahrez scored the decisive goal that took Algeria to the AFCON finals in 2019. The Algerian is currently among Pep Guardiola’s most preferred options upfront at Manchester City.

Mahrez is known for his excellent goal-scoring abilities. The Algerian could make the difference for the North Africans, currently the defending Champions.

3. Sadio Mané

Sadio Mané, Liverpool forward, was the main reason behind Senegal’s successful outing during the last edition held in Egypt.

Mané, who’s currently ranked amongst the top 10 playmakers of the English Premier League, poses a significant threat for Senegal’s opponents.

This season, the stats speak well of him. Mané and Senegal finished second during the last AFCON in 2019 hosted by Egypt.

4. Said Benrahma

Benrahma is one of the big names to watch out for in Cameroon. The Algerian has provided five goals and four assists for West Ham United this season.
