"Premier League stars aiming for glory in AFCON 2023

The start of the Africa Cup of Nations is just around the corner, only nine days away for Africa to crown a new king. World-class players will gather to seek glory for their countries, just as they do for their respective clubs in the Premier League. Here are some of the standout players:

Mohamed Salah:

The standout player for the current Premier League leader is undoubtedly the one to watch in AFCON 2023, after leading Egypt to the final in the last edition, falling just short of the title. The Merseyside striker is his national team's all-time top scorer, and the responsibility to become Africa's new king rests on his shoulders.

André Onana:

The starting goalkeeper for the Red Devils will defend his country's goal for the Cameroon national team. Onana has had a season with ups and downs at United; however, he is the starting goalkeeper and captain for his national team, crucial in their qualification for the previous World Cup, and now they aim for glory in Africa.

Sofyan Amrabat:

The midfielder who arrived last summer at Old Trafford and has secured his place in the Red Devils' midfield will participate in AFCON 2023 with the fourth-placed team from the last World Cup and favorites for the title, the Moroccan national team, where the midfielder is a key part of Regragui's team.

Nicolás Jackson:

The star forward for Chelsea in the current campaign started off on the wrong foot. However, the striker has turned it around, already scoring seven goals and providing two assists this season. Now, he aims to solidify his partnership with Sadio Mane in the attack, as Senegal seeks back-to-back titles in AFCON 2023.

These are just some of the stars the Africa Cup of Nations will showcase, where each of them will aim to etch their names in the history of this competition and lead their team to become Africa's new king. Don't forget to follow AFCON 2023, exclusively available on beIN SPORTS!
