It is really interesting to know that Chelsea FC of England has 16 players plus one Coach (Technical Director) who have African root under their payroll. While some of the players are already playing in CFC firstteam, others are in the Reserve, Academy or on loan. Check this out:

Didier Drogba (Cote d’ivoire), Michael Essien (Ghana), Salomon Kalou (Cote d’ivoire), John Obi Mikel (Nigeria), Romelu Lukaku (Congo DR), Nathaniel Chalobah (Sierra Leone), Danny Pappoe (Ghana), Aziz Dean Conteh (Sierra Leone), Islam Feruz (Somalia), Nortei Nortey (Ghana), Samuel Bangura (Sierra Leone), Adam Nditi (Tanzania), Amin Affane (Morocco), Ismail Seremba (Uganda), Bobby Devyne (Kenya), Kenneth Omeruo (Nigeria).

What does that tell us? CFC na we own! These players are either playing or eligible to play for these African countries in future. Not forgetting the fact that our own Michael Emenalo is CFC Technical Director.
