Senegal topped the list with 62 players
"African footballers are contracted by these clubs' first teams in the 11 leagues, which constitutes approximately 6% of their total player base. Unsurprisingly, most of them come from West-African countries," reads the November 2021 report dubbed "The African Power in Europe" in part.

Senegal, Morocco, and Nigeria produce the highest number of players in European leagues, with 62, 55 and 54 players respectively, as of Nov. 23, 2021. Others are Ivory Coast (50), Ghana (46), Algeria (32), Mali (32), Cameroon ((28), DR Congo (23) and Guinea (13), with west African states dominating the chart.
