Top African scorers in 2023-24 Premier League

1. Mohamed Salah (15 goals, Liverpool and Egypt)

The Egyptian star's latest league goal for the Reds came in their 4-1 win over Brentford on February 17.

He has racked up four braces for Liverpool this season, doing so in the matches against Brighton and Hove Albion, Brentford, Everton, and Newcastle United.

2. Nicolas Jackson (9 goals, Chelsea and Senegal)

Jackson is starting to heat up. The Senegalese forward has found the back of the net in each of Chelsea's last two league matches, scoring goals in the 2-2 draw against Brentford and the 3-2 win against Newcastle United.

He now has nine goals for the 2023-24 season, second-best among African players in the Premier League.

He is one of 12 players to record a hat-trick in the Premier League this campaign, accomplishing the feat in Chelsea's 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur last November.

3. Bryan Mbeumo (7 goals, Brentford and Cameroon)

Mbeumo is ranked third on the list despite missing a chunk of the 2023/24 season because of an ankle injury. He racked up seven goals in Brentford's first 10 league matches this season, including four in their opening four games.

Unfortunately for the 24-year-old, he was sidelined for three months after undergoing surgery on his injured ankle last December. The injury forced Mbeumo to miss the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations for Cameroon, per The Athletic.

3. Antoine Semenyo (7 goals, Bournemouth and Ghana)

Semenyo has been in fine form for Bournemouth of late, with the Ghanaian star scoring four goals in their last five league matches.

He scored one goal each in the games against Newcastle and Burnley before nabbing a brace in the Cherries' dramatic 4-3 win over Luton Town on March 13.

Bournemouth grabbed seven points out of nine in those three games, helping them move up to 13th in the league table.

3. Yoane Wissa (7 goals, Brentford and DR Congo)

Wissa is doing his part to keep Brentford in the Premier League. The DR Congo star has scored three goals in their last four league matches, netting goals in the games against West Ham United, Chelsea, and Arsenal.
