Fatshimetrie recently published an article highlighting Yoane Wissa’s exceptional performance on Matchday 37 of the Premier League. By scoring for Brentford against Bournemouth, the talented Congolese striker became his country’s top scorer in Premier League history. With his 11th goal of the season, accompanied by two assists, Wissa not only ensured victory for his team, but he also set a new record by surpassing Trésor Lomana Lualua.
This success for Wissa underlines his progress since his arrival in England, proving that he is capable of shining in one of the most competitive championships in the world. His 25 goals with Brentford now put him at the top of the list of Congolese Premier League scorers, overtaking renowned players such as Lomana Lualua, Youssouf Mulumbu and Yannick Bolasie.
The career of Lomana Lualua, who scored 24 goals mainly with Portsmouth, testifies to his influence during his time in the Premier League. Youssouf Mulumbu, known for his tenacity in midfield, also left his mark with 12 goals for West Brom. Yannick Bolasie, although more recognized for his dribbling than for his scoring, nevertheless scored 11 memorable goals.
Benik Afobe, Dieumerci Mbokani and Shabani Nonda complete the list of Congolese top scorers in the Premier League, each bringing their personal touch to the English championship. Their contribution marked the history of Congolese football in England, testifying to the talent and diversity of players from elsewhere.
Ultimately, statistics only tell part of the story. Behind every goal scored are moments of passion, determination and hard work. Yoane Wissa perfectly embodies these values and continues to shine on the Premier League pitches, inspiring entire generations of Congolese players to follow in his footsteps and dream big.
