The African Cup of Nations is upon us, and there are plenty of top quality teams vying for the trophy. The tournament is highly regarded and is the greatest international trophy some of these players want to win. The likes of Mo Salah and Naby Keita will be making the headlines, and have plenty of people back in England watching as well, as Premier League fans watch their favourite domestic stars turn out for their national sides.
Many domestic sides are happy the competition is in the summer, and not during the winter months when players are forced to miss the domestic action mid-season, and will run for a month between the 21st June and the 19th July. The group stages of course take place first, and there are 24 teams taking part. Mo Salah’s Egypt are the hosts – no pressure on the Liverpool man to bring home the trophy then, and it’s expected to be a spectacle to watch. Holders Cameroon have won their warm-up and are fancied going into the competition once again.

You can back Salah to end up top scorer with Betfair offering 6/1 on that. We all know Salah can handle himself under pressure, with the Eygpt star of course taking the penalty that sent his nation to the World Cup. Salah has 39 goals in 62 appearances for Eygpt so far. His domestic teammates Sadio Mane – who has been in excellent form this season as well, and matched Salah goal for goal, is at 8/1 to end up with the Golden Boot for Senegal, who are of course also one of the top rated teams and expected to do well. Mane has 16 goals in 60 appearances for Senegal and will want to add to that.
Another player Premier League fans will know well is Wilfred Zaha, who has his future up in the air this summer in terms of his domestic club, with a move possibly on the cards, and a good showing for the Ivory Coast would certainly help him here – he’s 40/1 to lift the Golden Boot.
