Mohamed Salah tops this category for African players, and indeed across the Premier League, as he ended the campaign with 23 goals—tied in top spot overall with Son Heung-min.

The Egypt superstar’s haul wins him his third Premier League Golden Boot as he becomes the first African player to top the scoring charts in three separate PL campaigns.

Salah again leads the way here, having registered 13 assists throughout the campaign. It’s again the most of any player in the division during the course of the season, as the Liverpool sensation becomes only the fourth player in Prem history to lead both the goal charts and the assists charts in a single campaign.

Edouard Mendy was in action for 3060 minutes across the course of the campaign, with the goalkeeper starting 34 of Chelsea’s 38 matches.

This was level with the likes of Aaron Ramsdale and Virgil van Dijk, although Mendy was someway off David de Gea and Hugo Lloris who both led the way after being in action for 3420 minutes during the season.

GettyYellow Cards

Yves Bissouma tops Africa’s disciplinary charts during 2021-22 after picking up 10 yellow cards during the course of the campaign.

This is only one lower than James Tarkowski, Tyrone Mings and Junior Firpo, all of whom were booked on 11 occasions.
