Ex-Ghana international Mattew Amoah among 10 African strikers who conquered Europe

No African goalscorer has netted more goals than Samuel Eto'o in the history of Europe's top 10 leagues, but a host of legendary strikers feature alongside the Cameroon legend in each of the continent's top divisions.

UEFA's country coefficients rank Spain, England, Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, Russia, Belgium, Netherlands, and Ukraine (in that order) as Europe's top 10 footballing nations, prompting KickOff.com to investigate who the leading African goalscorers in the history of each of those country's top divisions is.

Eto'o features as the all-time leading African goalscorer in LaLiga history after starring for Real Madrid, Mallorca, and FC Barcelona.

The Cameroon legend's time in Spain saw him net 162 times in 280 appearances, which is the most by any African player across the continent's top 10 divisions.

In England, former Chelsea and Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba reigns supreme after tucking home 104 Premier League goals across two spells with the Blues, while ex-Borussia Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the Bundesliga's leading African marksman with 98 strikes to his name.

Former Senegal striker Mamadou Niang, whose 100 goals for Olympique Marseille, Strasbourg, and Troyes make him Ligue 1's greatest African import, is one of only two other players who have more than a century of goals on the list, alongside former Eredivisie star Matthew Amoah.
