While Sarr was thriving at the World Cup, Mohammed Kudus was probably watching on with envy.A long-term hamstring issue denied him a place in the Ghana squad and the 26-year-old will hope injury problems are finally behind him as he looks to secure a starting place in Roberto de Zerbi's Tottenham rebuild.Kudus undoubtedly has the talent, but showing his trickery and invention on a consistent basis has been the issue.Everton's Iliman Ndiaye is perhaps the candidate with the real wow factor. Only City's Jeremy Doku completed more dribbles in the Premier League last season.After a second World Cup campaign, Saudi side Al-Hilal have shown interest, while Manchester United and Arsenal have also been linked.Would a move to a Champions League team give the man Toffees fans call Skilliman the platform he needs to show his magical twinkling feet can turn tricks into silverware?At Newcastle United, a knee injury resulted in Yoane Wissa missing the first half of last season as well as Afcon.But he scored three goals for DR Congo at the World Cup and will surely be a key figure for Newcastle as they look to rebuild.And could the new king be a defender?Benjamin Fredrick has just signed a four-year deal and been promoted to Brentford's first-team squad.That rarest of things - a player signed by a Premier League side direct from Nigeria - he was enjoying a successful loan in Belgium last season and was due to be one of the Super Eagles' starting centre-backs at Afcon until suffering a knee injury on the eve of the tournament.Bees boss Keith Andrews sees "a lot of potential" in the 21-year-old.Of course, when Salah first arrived in the Premier League, signing for Chelsea from Basel in 2014, very few people knew who he was.The same could now be said for fellow wideman Zadok Yohanna, who cost Brighton £21.5m in June.Like Salah, the pacy Nigerian is a left-footer who plays off the right.Newcastle's £43m signing Bazoumana Traore operates on the opposite flank, and the Ivorian has already been winning praise for his pre-season performances.Coventry City's new midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi made his mark in the collective consciousness with some high-class performances for Ghana at the World Cup, scoring the late winner against Panama.The Sky Blues paid a club record £23m for the 20-year-old.Or could Salah's replacement still be waiting in the wings?Another World Cup star, Morocco's Ayyoub Bouaddi, looks to be on his way to Manchester City, with the 10-time league winners in negotiations with Lille for the central midfielder who oozed a classy confidence in the Atlas Lions' opener against Brazil despite only being 18.Or will Victor Osimhen finally land in England, having been constantly linked with a move over the years?The 27-year-old striker, beloved in Nigeria, already has the profile and hit 29 goals in all competitions last year.With Salah having moved to Turkey, Osimhen swapping Galatasaray for the Premier League would go some way to filling the hole for African fans.
