Hmm if you mean continental African, I have to say Adebayor. He has stepped up and become the man goal wise in the league. Big Perm was too injured this year and could not do it.

If you we can add Africans in the diaspora to that, I would say David James hands down.

Don't get me wrong. Adebayor has scored a lot of goals this season, but Arsenal can and were winning without him. Remember early in the season, it was the RVP show, then the Fabregas show and then the Adebayor show.

Except with his injury, Portsmouth have been kept in all competitions by David James, sure his penchant for the mistake has let a few teams back into games mentally, BUT this season he has Portsmouth on the edge of European football and we all can see how much they miss him now. Arsenal tied game with Adebayor scoring, Portsmouth are losing games with James missing. They look pathetic without him as Ashdown is clearly his deputy.

Don't get me wrong, I love Ade but I think James beat him out.
