The 2018/19 Premier League season was a historic one for African
players in English football. More than 130 years after Arthur
Wharton became the first, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah shared the
Golden Boot with Arsenal's Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
in a record-breaking campaign that saw Liverpool pipped for the
title by a point by Manchester City. A statue of Wharton now stands
at the Football Association's headquarters at St George's Park - a
testament to his status as an important pioneer of the game. But
the story of how it got there, just like many of the African
players who followed in his path such as Steve Mokone, Albert
Johanneson, Peter Ndlovu, Christopher Wreh, Lucas Radebe and Didier
Drogba, is far from straightforward. Ed Aarons describes how they
confronted racism to help change the face of English football
forever, enabling the modern generation of superstars like Mane and
Salah to flourish. Detailing their remarkable journeys to Anfield
from Senegal and Egypt, Made in Africa also features an exclusive
interview with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp - who broke the
transfer record for an African player for the third time in the
space of 14 months when he signed Naby Keita for almost GBP53m in
August 2017. He explains how the club's African contingent played
an integral role in the thrilling climax to the season that ended
with them becoming European champions for the sixth time.
