🌐 Here's What Happened

Plenty of talent was on show during the Women's Africa Cup of Nations this month - but why do so few players from the continent play for clubs in England?

The Women's Super League is widely regarded as one of the best leagues in the world and Europe's top talent is flooding in.

Two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas joined London City Lionesses this summer - the latest figure from Spain's World Cup-winning squad to move to the WSL.

📌 Key Details

It follows past high-profile moves from foreign players, including Australia captain Sam Kerr who made 158 appearances for Chelsea before joining Gotham.

Some of the United States' biggest stars are in the WSL too, including Chelsea duo Alyssa Thompson and Naomi Girma, Arsenal's Emily Fox and Manchester City's Sam Coffey.

There has also been an influx of Asian talent in recent seasons, with Japan captain Yui Hasegawa becoming one of the WSL's best players at Manchester City.

BBC Sport explores why the WSL has just four African players - Chiamaka Nnadozie (Brighton and Nigeria), Aisha Masaka (Brighton and Tanzania), Rofiat Imuran (London City Lionesses and Nigeria) and Ines Belloumou (West Ham and Algeria).

The small representation in the WSL is not because of a lack of talent in Africa.

National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) clubs in America have shown huge interest, spending big money on some of the continent's best players.
