Kwesé Sports are delighted to present the return of the EFL Championship this weekend, as the sides in English football's second tier battle for a spot in the promised land of the Premier League.
As ever, the league is packed full of excellent African players, with some of the continent's biggest stars set to feature for clubs up and down the division.
Here are the top five talents for you to keep an eye on this season.
Oghenekaro Etebo, Stoke City: The relegated Potters may have pulled off one of the coups of the window in recruiting Nigeria international Etebo.
They'd already appeared to have done a marvellous bit of business ahead of the World Cup considering Etebeo's performances on loan at Las Palmas from CD Feirense last season.
However, in Russia - despite scoring an own goal in the Super Eagles' defeat by Croatia - Etebo excelled as arguably the national side's most impressive player.
He was a dynamic, driving presence in the heart of the midfield, demonstrating all of the traits of a classic box-to-box midfielder, as well as a fine eye for a pass.
Albert Adomah, Aston Villa: The Ghana international rolled back the years last term to register the best season of his career. He was influential as the Villains sought a return to the Premier League at the second time of asking, contributing five assists and scoring a whopping 14 goals.
Things are set to be tougher for Steve Bruce's side this term as a series of key players depart and the club rein in their spending.
Adomah's form has already earned him a Black Stars recall, but he'll surely need to at least repeat his heroics again if the Villains are to end their wait for a Premier League return.
Britt Assombalonga, Middlesbrough: The Congolese frontman has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, although after moving to Boro last term, he netted 15 goals in the second tier.
While Middlesbrough will be weakened should - as expected - Adama Traore leave the club, in Assombalonga they boast a forward whose pace and power can trouble defences.
Tony Pulis appears to know how to get the best out of him, although he may yet face a battle to keep the Congolese attacker - Burnley and West Bromwich Albion are reportedly eyeing his services.
Wilfried Bony, Swansea City: Bony's stock has fallen dramatically in recent seasons, particularly considering it wasn't that long ago since Manchester City parted with an initial £25 million to make him Africa's most expensive player at the time.
It never truly worked out for the Ivorian at the Etihad Stadium, and after a failed loan spell at Stoke City, he returned to Swansea last term.
Injury problems limited his ability to help the Welsh side in their hour of need, and he hasn't played since the 1-1 draw with Leicester City in early February.
Despite being linked with a move abroad, Bony has vowed to remain at the club and battle to help the Swans return to the Premier League. Still only 29, he should have a lot to offer at this level.
El Arbi Hillel Soudani, Nottingham Forest: Another new signing on this list is Algeria international Soudani, who ended a five-year spell in Croatian football to move to Forest.
At 30, he's sampling English football at a fairly advanced stage of his career, but his physicality and tenacity mean that he has the qualities to be a success in the Championship.
Upon his arrival at Forest, Soudani discussed the role that Aitor Karanka had played in convincing him to move to the club.
With the Spaniard typically espousing a cautious, safety-first, low-risk approach to football, he'll surely be counting on the North African to offer a goal threat up front.
