Leicester City's wonderful season continued on Sunday night when Riyad Mahrez collected the PFA Player of the Year Award.
The Algeria international has been a driving force in Leicester's Premier League challenge, which seems destined to end in glory after they moved eight points clear with a 4-0 win over Swansea.
Mahrez has contributed 17 goals and 11 assists in the top-flight so far this campaign.
After his triumph, we count down the 10 best Africans to have graced the Premier League.
10. RIYAD MAHREZ (ALGERIA)
Leicester City 2014-
A complete unknown when Leicester signed him from Le Havre in January 2014, Mahrez is very much a household name in the Premier League now.
His speed, passing, finishing and general wizardry on the ball first helped keep Leicester in the top-flight last season and then has powered them to the most unexpected of title challenges this.
The PFA Award is testament to an outstanding season for the Algeria international of 24 caps.
9. TONY YEBOAH (GHANA)
Leeds United 1994-1997
Any fans of the Premiership Years will be well aware of Yeboah's explosive impact on the Premier League.
The Ghanaian, signed from German side Eintracht Frankfurt for £3.4m in January 1995, had a penchant for absolutely spectacular goals. His goal against Wimbledon in the 1995-96 season is one of the best-ever in English football.
His time at Elland Road was pretty brief, but Yeboah had an excellent scoring return of 32 goals in 66 league games.
8. JAY-JAY OKOCHA (NIGERIA)
Bolton Wanderers 2002-2006
It didn't take long for Okocha - regarded by many as Nigeria's best footballing export - to make an impression on the Premier League when he took the route less trodden from Paris Saint-Germain to Bolton after the 2002 World Cup.
His deft touch, tricks and creative play immediately endeared him to Bolton fans and an appreciative wider audience and he was certainly a cult hero when he departedfour years later.
'So good they named him twice,' Okocha won 75 caps for Nigeria and represented them in several tournaments.
7. LUCAS RADEBE (SOUTH AFRICA)
Leeds United 1994-2001; 2002-2004
A fearsome, uncompromising defender from Soweto who became captain of both Leeds United and the South African national team.
His best years at Elland Road coincided with a period of success for the club, as first George Graham and then David O'Leary shaped an exciting young side of which Radebe was the bedrock.
In all, Radebe played 256 times for the Yorkshire club, most as captain, and most notably helped them to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2001.
6. KOLO TOURE (IVORY COAST)
Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool 2002-
An accomplished all-round centre-half who carved out a long and very fruitful career in the Premier League after joining Arsenal in 2002.
A FA Cup success in 2003 was just the beginning of the success and Toure's partnership with Sol Campbell during the 'Invincibles' season was one of the important factors in Arsenal's success.
In all, the Ivorian made 326 appearances for Arsenal before moving on and claiming a second Premier League title with Manchester City. Toure, 35, now plays for Liverpool.
Between 2000 and 2015, Toure won 118 caps for the Ivory Coast, representing them at three World Cups and seven Africa Cup of Nations finals.
5. NWANKWO KANU (NIGERIA)
Arsenal, West Bromwich Albion, Portsmouth 1998-2010
Kanu's career took him from Ajax to Inter Milan and then to England, where he led the line for an Arsenal side sparring with Manchester United for the Premier League title in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
He won the FA Cup in 2003 and was a member of the 'Invincibles' team of 2004 though he eventually became more of an impact sub below Thierry Henry in the pecking order. In 2008, however, he was voted the 13th best player in Arsenal history.
Kanu later spent two years with West Brom and six with Portsmouth and he also won 87 caps for Nigeria over a 17-year period.
4. MICHAEL ESSIEN (GHANA)
Chelsea 2005-2012; 2013-2014
A workhorse of a footballer who ran box-to-box in support of both attack and defence, combining slick passing with uncompromising tackling.
Essien played a pivotal role in the establishment of Chelsea as a Premier League force having been signed by Jose Mourinho from Lyon in 2005.
Two Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the League Cup followed before a small role in Chelsea's 2012 Champions League win.
3. EMMANUEL ADEBAYOR (TOGO)
Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace 2005-
The towering centre forward had a fine scoring record for Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham in a memorable Premier League career that continues today with Crystal Palace.
Acquired from Monaco in 2006, Adebayor soon offered Arsenal a fresh attacking threat with his ability to dominate a defensive line and he scored 62 goals in 142 games for the Gunners despite it being something of a fallow period for silverware.
A short-lived move to City followed before Adebayor rediscovered some of his earlier form at Spurs.
2. YAYA TOURE (IVORY COAST)
Manchester City 2010-
The younger Toure, a tireless and tenacious central midfielder, is considered one of the major factors in Manchester City's emergence as a Premier League force.
In both their Premier League triumphs - 2011-12 and 2013-14 - Toure regularly dragged his team to victory with dynamic performances and he scored a higher-than-average number of goals as well. He has 72 in total for City.
With a century of caps under his belt for the Ivory Coast as well, Toure is a legend for both club and country.
1. DIDIER DROGBA (IVORY COAST)
Chelsea 2004-2012; 2014-2015
From the moment Drogba arrived at Stamford Bridge from Marseille in 2004, it was evident there was going to be a turning of the tide in the Premier League.
The Ivorian's goals duly fired the Blues to back-to-back titles and sparked a love affair between fans and players that will always endure.
164 goals in 381 matches for Chelsea over his two spells means Drogba is the club's fourth-highest goalscorer of all-time but far more impressive is his medal collection.
Four Premier League titles, three League Cups, four FA Cups and the Champions League, after he scored a crucial equaliser in the final.
The only place he is more of a hero than in west London is back home in the Ivory Coast, where he has a record 63 goals in 104 matches.
