Many feel here in the Transfer Tavern, and in the wider footballing world, that Arsenal and Arsene Wenger have put together their best squad for some time this season.

Indeed, it looks more mature than in recent seasons, with many key players bang in their prime whilst their attacking threat has gone up a significant amount this season.

The likes of Mesut Ozil and Theo Walcott have joined Alexis Sanchez in the goal-scoring ranks, with the Chilean himself moved into a more central role.

It’s a side that looks like it can seriously challenge for the Premier League title and with them currently only behind Manchester City on goal difference this season, you’d be hard-pressed to argue against that.

The squad is comprised of all different kinds of nationalities that have meshed together to make one fantastic looking unit and that got our landlord wondering.

With all the different cultures on display who are the best to have come from somewhere like Africa?

Here are the TWO that came up…

Nwankwo Kanu

Kane just oozed class and calmness. The Nigerian very rarely broke into a sweat and looked like he’d barely put a shift in, but really he was just that good.

He glided around the pitch effortlessly and if there’s one moment you’d ask Arsenal fans to think of when you mention his name, it’s that goal from the most impossible of angles against Chelsea – what a strike.

Kolo Toure

Toure would go on to be a bit of a cult hero for the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool before ending up at Celtic, as well as having one of the greatest football chants ever dedicated to him.

Still, after leaving Arsenal but it shouldn’t be forgotten he was a top defender for the Gunners.

The Ivorian had pace and strength meaning he could handle the toughest of Premier League forwards and he was a big part of Arsenal’s success in the early part of this century.
