With Liverpool confirmed as the 2019/20 Premier League champions, Senegal and Egypt are among the four nations to provide a title-winner in the competition for the first time.

Senegal's Sadio Mane and Egypt's Mohamed Salah have starred in the Reds' attack this season, providing 32 goals and 14 assists between them to break new ground for their countries.

Croatia, through centre-back Dejan Lovren, and Guinea, thanks to midfielder Naby Keita, are the other nations to now boast a Premier League champion.

That takes the total number of nations who have supplied a Premier League winner to 51, out of the 117 countries that have provided a player to the competition.
