Man City & Chelsea Love Africa

By: chris | June 21st, 2011

An exclusive photo of Yaya after being informed just how much money he makes.

With the summer upon us, list making is en vogue once again. Today we find out just which players from Africa make the most money and Man City’s ode to financial irresponsibility, commonly known as Emmanuel Adebayor’s contract.

In fact Manchester City and Chelsea have been very good to Africa. George Clooney and Bono must be thrilled.

It’s in American dollars as the study was done by Forbes.

1. Yaya Toure (Manchester City and Ivory Coast) – $13.3 million

2. Samuel Eto’o (Inter and Cameroon) – $12 million

3. Emmanuel Adebayor (Togo and Manchester City) – $12 million

4. Kolo Toure (Manchester City and Ivory Coast) – $10.3 million

5. Frederic Kanoute (Sevilla and Mali) – $8.6 million

6. Didier Drogba (Chelsea and Ivory Coast) – $8 million

7. John Mikel Obi (Chelsea and Nigeria) – $5.8 million

8. Michael Essien (Chelsea and Ghana) – $5.5 million

Goals in the last two years:

Eto’o: 53
Adebayor: 27

Champions for Africa charity game

By Anish on December 30, 2010 3:39 AM | Comments | TrackBacksShare|

Some highlights from the 'Champions for Africa' charity match organised by UNICEF.
Two teams, a Primera Division select led by Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos and an African all-stars team headed by Sevilla striker Frederic Kanoute played at the Vicente Calderon in Madrid with the proceeds assisting education programmes for Schools for Africa and Kanoute's City of Children in Mali Foundation.
The African all stars were coached by Mourinho.
The best thing about the game is that everyone seems to having great fun - the players,the commentators and everyone.
