Gaxa was without a club after leaving Chiefs last season, but on Monday it was confirmed that he had signed for the Clever Boys, after training with Gavin Hunt's side for a while.
The 32-year-old will be relishing the opportunity forr regular football once again, just as Nigeria international Victor Moses is doing at Chelsea. The 25-year-old signed for the Blues in 2012, but after three spells out on loan, he might have thought he would never feature for the team as regularly as he does now.
Antonio Contes fresh approach at the London club has gifted the player a golden chance at first team football – one that he has so far grabbed by the horns.
Manchester City's Yaya Toure has also seemingly turned his fortunes under Pep Guardiola around in recent weeks, after netting a brace in his first Premier League appearance of the season two weeks ago.
Sunderland's Steven Pienaar is another African who appears to have revived his career, following lengthy spells on the sidelines at Everton due to injuries. The former Bafana Bafana captain is now a regular feature under David Moyes at the Stadium of Light.
Our gallery also includes Samuel Eto'o, who has done well at Turkish club Antalyaspor after a torrid time at Sampdoria in Italy.
